2nd New Deal- While the first new deal focused on relief right away, the second new deal created also by FDR focused on creating social welfare programs. These welfare programs were set in place to help prevent a second depression and to give Americans assistance and a back bone to fall onto if anything were to happen. The main parts of the second new deal were the Works Progress Administration (WPA), the National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act, the Social Security Act, and the Wealth Tax Act.
