Explanation:

The Wall Street crisis of 1929 had caused a strong recession and marked unemployment in the United States. The government tried some exits but it was limited attempts within pre-existing parameters. It was at the end of 1932 when Franklin Delano Roosevelt replaced Herbert Clark Hoover that it was possible to appeal to other alternatives based on his proposal of the "New Deal", within which the restoration of employment should be based on the development of major works and the intervention of the state as employer.

So it was that the "Civil Work Administration" was formed, which a year later, at the beginning of 1934, already employed four million Americans. But the most important thing was the TVA, whose creation law was promulgated by Roosevelt on May 18, 1933.

The TVA was created as a corporation of the state "but with the flexibility and initiative of a private company", so it was granted with diverse responsibilities, among them, the most important one, to develop a series of dams in the seven states through which the water course crosses of the Tennessee River. Dams that had to generate electrical energy but whose complementary works were planned to ensure the navigability of that waterway, control floods, develop a risk channel system, face the prevention of epidemics in critical areas, reforest desertified areas, produce fertilizers, train Farmers in the use of new technologies through the creation of model farms, collaborate with education and culture by installing a library in each dam and organize regional tourism.

A decade later the families with electricity in their homes went from 6,000 to 500,000, the dams were built at a rate of one per year, so in twenty years they made twenty, for which 200,000 workers were employed and used 86 million square meters of sand, stone and cement. The TVA had become the main generator of electricity in the country while the river became navigable along its 1,050 kilometers.

Another measurement of the New Deal was the Civilian Conservation Corps, which it was a government job-aid program for young Americans.
