Pictures of bread lines, like this one, are among the most enduring and poignant images of the Great Depression. Great Depression

What is a Depression ? An economy with high unemployment, falling income, failing business, and declines in production and sales. In other words…a “broken” economy that needs to be fixed!

The Current U.S. Economy Americans have been living beyond their means, buying too often on credit Foreign competition, a decrease in the production of goods, and corporate bailouts have led to economic problems in the U.S. This has led to high unemployment, rising prices, and arguably, a mini- depression.

But less than 80 years ago, events were much worse…

The Great Depression An economic slump in North America, Europe, and other industrialized areas of the world began in 1929 and lasted until about Beginning in the United States, it was the longest and most severe depression ever experienced by the industrialized Western world. Caused in part by the weaknesses and imbalances within the U.S. economy that had been hidden by unusually prosperous economic times and irrational investments of the 1920’s.

Causes for the Great Depression False Prosperity in the 1920’s led to: Over speculation (investment in a risky business venture) Oct Stock Market Crash Banking Crisis - Most uninsured - Money runs Trade Collapse

Effects of the Depression on the Common Citizen Unemployment - At the height of the depression, 3 out of 10 Americans were jobless. Poverty - Millions homeless, hungry, penniless Injustices committed by the powerful against the powerless - Unfair pay, working conditions - Increased racial tensions

To Kill a Mockingbird takes place from 1933 to 1935, during the Great Depression. The story is set in Maycomb, a fictional city in southern Alabama.
