The first thing that roosevelt attended to as president was the select one: a. banking crisis b. farming crisis c. unemployment crisis d. housing crisis

The answer is A.

Only 2 days after his inauguration (which was on March 4th, 1933), President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared a bank holiday. The reason why FDR focused on this first was because banks all over the US were running out of money. This financial panic resulted in thousands of Americans losing their life savings.

 This bank holiday shut down banks across the entire US for four days. This would allow Congress sometime to evaluate these banks and to provide them with currency so that they may reopen successfully. Banks that were considered ineffective or gave out a significant amount of bad loans were restructured and observed constantly by the government. This was FDR's way of assuring that there would not be another banking crisis in the US.
