Franklin roosevelt tried to speak directly with the american people to ease fears about the economic crisis through:

a: regular fireside chats on the radio

b: monthly press conferences on television

c: first president to have a press secretary

d: frequent state of the union addresses

A. Regular fireside chats on the radio
During the Great Depression, millions of people were very destitute and Americans lacked hope and confidence in their government. Almost all Americans owned a radio, so FDR manipulated this fact and conducted fireside chats to speak directly to the American people in hopes of raising their spirits.
