Presentation transcript:

The American Dream The American Dream is the hope that in the United States of America, anyone can become rich or famous if they work hard and try their very best. Many migrants, people who come to America from other countries, come to America because they hope for a better life. America is attractive to migrants, because often there is more freedom to become rich or famous than the country that they leave. With American Dream is also meant to live free and equal with all other people in the USA.

The Wall Street Crash The Wall Street Crash of 1929 was a stock market crash on the New York Stock Exchange on October 29, It was a Tuesday so now it goes by the name "Black Tuesday". The crash started the Great Depression and stock prices did not reach the same level until late 1954.

The Great Depression The Great Depression was the great economic crisis that is said to have been started because of the U.S. stock-market crash in The prices on the Wall Street stock market fell a lot from October 24 to October 29, Many people lost their jobs. By 1932, 25– 30% of people lost their jobs. They became homeless and poor. This ended the wealth of the Roaring Twenties. Many people think that the Great Depression started on Black Tuesday, but Black Tuesday was just an underlying problem that would help cause the Depression.

Itinerant Farm Workers The term migrant worker has different official meanings and connotations in different parts of the world. The United Nations' definition is broad, including any people working outside of their home country. The term can also be used to describe someone who migrates within a country, possibly their own, in order to pursue work such as seasonal work.
