One of the most famous and successful projects begun by the federal government during the Great Depression was the Tennessee Valley Authority, or TVA.

When our 32nd president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, entered office in 1933, he wanted to help the people of the Tennessee Valley become more prosperous, healthy and productive. In order to do this, President Roosevelt signed the Tennessee Valley Authority Act on May 18, 1933.What was bad about the TVA?As for flood control, the TVA has flooded an estimated 730,000 acres—more land than the entire state of Rhode Island.
