The Great Depression first started as early as 1928, but did not affect the United States until 1929. The Great Stock Market crash started the event of the Depression here in America, but was not the main cause to why it happened. During the early stages of the depression, President Hoover failed to help the economy and continued with his belief system of giving people the least help they needed, so they can earn themselves a rightful spot with pride, not with government’s help. The Great Depression was a very intense experience for us, even until today, the

The Great Depression affected everyone and everything in America. It affected families, friends, businesses, jobs, cities, states, the entire country! But everyone, no matter whether they were a man, a woman, or an african american, was affected in different ways, some ways worst than others. Everyone who lived through the Great Depression had a different experience for themselves. The women had a tougher time surviving than the men. The white men got jobs faster than the african americans. The african americans were the first fired and the last hired.

The Roaring Twenties of America, which was from 1920-1929, saw a great social and economic prosperity. People were happy, and were celebrating the victory of World War 1. The gasoline price was lowered, right to vote for women was granted, and America was climbing towards a great success. In 1929, Herbert Hoover became the president of the United States of America, and he said, “ Given a chance to go forward with the policies of the last eight years, we shall soon with the help of God be in sight of the day when poverty will be banished from this nation”(Roark, Pg. 703).

This economic crisis was caused by mostly the Congress’s decisions and the Second National Bank. Congress increased tariffs such as the Embargo Act, Non-Intercourse Act, and others that tax’s imports to reduce the competition and protect domestic manufacturers, but this decision hurt the farmers in the south, that all goods was imported from other places, making increasing the price of the exporting goods and making it more expensive for the Southerners (Doc A). Yet this brought nationalism towards manufacturer in the northeast states of the U.S because it supported the nation as a whole with manufacturer goods domestically rather then being imported and the tariffs was made by the feudal government. The second reason was that Congress restore the National Bank which lent loans for people to purchase land in the west due to the McCulloch v. Maryland trial (Doc D). This also shows that the Federal government remains above all state based legislatures and courts, thus promoting nationalism. However, when the bank tightened its credit policy and demanded loans to be paid back, it caused foreclosures, widespread economic deficits and causing the Panic of 1819. The grand need of a better transportation was in grand need for the transportation was seen by John C. Calhoun in Congress of to distribute, manufacturer, and receive raw material for goods, in a fast and reelable time. As well he seen as a disunity from the nation. He wanted to unite the U.S by making a system of roads and canals to blend the county (Doc B). This was very beneficial to the government where it increased production of good in the northern states and distribute food crops like wheat and corn from northwest states to other. This as well is nationalism mostly because its unites the the country and its was very popular with many of the people for the new roads like the National road and canals ,and, faster transpiration

The Great Depression was the result of life during the Roaring Twenties. People heavily valued materialism and hedonism which in-turn made many people try to find a way to gain a large amount of money in a short period of time. As more and more people were intoxicated with greed and selfishness, they became more careless through their actions and made many mistakes. These mistakes led to the

The Great Depression is one of the most misunderstood events in not only American history but also Great Britain, France, Germany, and many other industrialized nations. It also has had important consequences and was an extremely devastating event in America. It was the longest and most severe depression ever experienced by the industrialized Western world. When the New York Stock Exchange crashed in October 1929, the United States dropped sharply into a major depression.

Harding. This election began primarily with delegate Wallace McCamant’s familiarity and sanction of Coolidge’s Have Faith in Massachusetts. Coolidge focused his part in the election toward the state's familiar with him; New England, Upper South and New York. Due to Harding’s philanthropic mindset, he granted Coolidge the ability to sit-in with him at Cabinet meetings. With this opportunity, Coolidge was given the opportunity to present himself to varying countries, dispensing collective lectures. and was elected into office as President in succession due to Harding’s death on August 12, 1923. Although Coolidge’s presidency was riddled with Harding’s leftover scandals, it seems as though Coolidge still could accommodate the needs of the public masses. For example, when he enabled a tax relief by cutting taxes and limiting (monitoring) the amount of money the government spent. Coolidge’s laidback administrative styles that dealt with broad, general topics earned him popularity amongst great populations during his campaigning and term in office. On August 22, 1923, President Warren G. Harding had a stroke caused by apoplexy and his unexpected death followed. That morning, John Calvin Coolidge Jr., was woken up by a phone call, and around 2:47 in the morning on August 22, 1923, he was sworn into the presidential office in his family’s farmhouse by his father whom at the time happened to be a notary public.
