Standards  SSUSH17 The student will analyze the causes and consequences of the Great Depression.  a. Describe the causes, including overproduction, underconsumption, and stock market speculation that led to the stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression.  b. Explain factors (include over-farming and climate) that led to the Dust Bowl and the resulting movement and migration west.  c. Explain the social and political impact of widespread unemployment that resulted in developments such as Hoovervilles.

How Did the Prosperity of the 1920’s Give Way to the Great Depression?  Herbert Hoover  Republican from Iowa  Elected President in 1928  Americans wanted a continuation of Republican politics of the “Roaring 20s”  Few could forecast the “bursting of the economic bubble”.

Agriculture Takes a Hit  In response to high demand for food during WWI, farmers borrowed money to afford more capital (land, machinery, labor).  After war, demand fell; farmers soon found themselves unable to repay their loans.

Industry Flourishes in the ‘20s  Unlike farmers, industrial workers saw a huge increase in wages during the ‘20s.  Had disposable incomes; bought Model-T’s, radios and other luxuries.  Many bought into the stock market, buying on margin, in hopes of becoming wealthy.

Uneven Distribution of Wealth  In the 1920’s, the rich kept getting richer while the poor kept getting poorer.  More and more products were being produced, but after a time, too many people could not afford to buy them anymore.  This led to a problem of over-production and under-consumption (Too much being made, not enough being bought)

The Stock Market Crashes  Speculation – process of taking high risks investments in hopes of quick profits  Black Tuesday – October 29, 1929 – Stock Market crashes  Investors pull out millions of dollars in hopes of salvaging what money they had left  Marked the “beginning” of the Great Depression

Aftermath of the Crash  Banks failures, businesses close, unemployment reaches 25%  Families lose their homes and farms; lines for soup kitchens become common sights  Hoovervilles – makeshift shantytowns of tents and shacks built on public or vacant lots  Named after President Hoover; many blamed his “hands-off” gov’t policies for causing the economy to run amuck.

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?  Once I built a railroad, made it run Made it race against time  Once I built a railroad, now it's done Brother can you spare a dime?  Once I built a tower to the sun Brick and mortar and lime  Once I built a tower, now it's done Brother can you spare a dime?

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?  Once in khaki suits Gee, we looked swell Full of that Yankee Doodle De Dum  Half a million boots went slogging through hell I was the kid with the drum  Say don't you remember, they called me Al It was Al all the time  Say don't you remember, I'm your pal! Brother, can you spare a dime?

Great Plains Become a Dust Bowl  Dust Bowl – term used for the Great Plains during the 1930s when the region suffered from drought and dust storms.  Three major causes:  1. Over-farming (loss of topsoil)  2. Drought (Climate)  3. Severe wind storms

Okies Move West  Families devastated by the Dust Bowl relocated to the West Coast or large cities in hopes of finding work.  John Steinbeck's “The Grapes of Wrath”; tells the story of the Joad family’s journey from the Dust Bowl to California

FDR Promises Change  Franklin Delano Roosevelt – Democrat from NY  Distant nephew of Teddy Roosevelt  Elected President in 1932 after he defeated the unpopular President Hoover.  Many blamed Hoover for worsening the Great Depression.  FDR’s policies would usher in a new era of government and economic reform, collectively known as “The New Deal”
