Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The New Deal Era (1933-1939) was most renowned for centralizing power in the federal government and establishing numerous federal agencies designed to regulate business and monopolies in response to the Great Depression. This era saw the creation of major programs like Social Security, the Civilian Conservation Corps, and the Tennessee Valley Authority. The Progressive Era (1890-1920) was also focused on government intervention but primarily addressed problems like political corruption and social inequality. The Great Depression (1929-1939) was the economic crisis that spurred the New Deal, but it was not an era in and of itself. The Great Society Era (1960s) aimed to continue and expand on the New Deal's social welfare policies, but did not focus as heavily on government regulation of business. The Post 9/11 Era (2001-present) has primarily been focused on national security and foreign policy, with some increases in government surveillance and security measures but less emphasis on economic regulation.
