Answer: Hope for desperate Americans.

Explanation:

These were the words from Roosevelt's inauguration for President. In this way, the new President intended to dispel fear for his citizens. By this time, the economic depression had reached its peak.

With this statement, the President made a direct promise that he would fight the economic abyss in which America was stuck. The new President also began fighting economic depression by introducing an economic reform program known as the "New Deal."
