9 März 1933 Jahr - Emergency Banking Act

Beschreibung:

As soon as FDR was inaugurated, he set about creating his "New Deal" (He didn't have a plan going in, but instead relied on his "brain trust" of advisors.)

The EBA was an act that declared a 4-day bank holiday starting on March 6th, during which ALL business of banks across the nation would be paused. Meanwhile, government officials inspected the banks - reopening those that could pay their debts, reorganizing some, and closing others.

It was meant to restore American confidence in the banking system.
