The Great Depression Tony Nichols 11/2/12

The Great Depression started in the U. S. because the stock market had went down. This caused our economy to drop very quick. To me it was one the worst time in our history. The day the stock market went down, people named it Black Tuesday. This caused many business to go up and down. People were fire from jobs and many lost a place to live. In our country the number of people who had lost their jobs was over 20 %. From cities to the country everybody was hit hard by this. Farms almost had to go out of business, due to the fall of crop prices. This was bad because the farming business plays a very good part in our economy. The depression didn't just effect us, and also effected other countries. We was forced to put high tariffs on all trades because of the economy drop. When we aren't making money in our country, then cant make money with other countries. We was also in debt during this time period. The industrial supply, and the wholesale price decline because of this. To add insult to injury, we was in a long war we now know as war world 2. So we was fighting I would say two wars at the same time. you can also guess that our banks decline too. Even though this was a hard time, we had a couple of benefits from this time era. We had many scientific inventions which led to the victory of war world 2. We also had gotten better rode to drive on. As a result I would say even though we went through a hard time, we still manage to defeat this hard time. Now we know what can happen if the stock market was to crash again. I think this could be consider as an lesson. As technology advances, I feel that we will never see a depression again. Now as we moved forward we should really try to save the earth. Who knows what can happen in the future?
