The U.S. had a weak economy. There was an inability of the political and financial institutions to cope with the downward spiral that had started in the late twenties. Even after political intervention fifteen percent of the work force were unemployed. The biggest cause of the Great Depression was the 1929 Stock Market Crash. On October 29, 1929 stock market prices dropped dramatically and continued to drop for the next three years. “Stock prices in the United States continued to fall, until by late 1932 they had dropped to 20% of there value in 1929”(Britanica 1).…

    DBQ Fdr's New Deal

    The Great Depression was the worst economic depression the US had ever faced in history. Set in motion after the crash of the stock market in 1929, the Depression led to the dramatic rise in unemployment rates, the vast migration of people, especially farmers, looking for jobs, food shortages, and an increasing hatred towards Hoover’s advocacy for laissez-faire and polices for reform.
