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. Farmers Overproduce: -The wide spread switch from horse-drawn to mechanized farm equipment allowed farmers to increase their production of crops -Instead of making more money though, overproduction led to major price reductions, causing farmers to lose money and the inability to pay back farm loans -The result of farmers failing to pay back loans led many small towns banks to fail, creating a strain on other banks

Underconsumption Though more efficient machinery in factories and on farms led to overproduction, few consumers had the money to purchase these goods The average consumer had very little buying power Underconsumption led to lower prices which resulted in the loss of money for farmers and manufacturers What happens to factory workers if the product they produce isn’t being purchased?

Causes of the Great Depression Discuss: How do these diagrams help you to understand the causes of the Depression?

Stock Market Speculation In the late 1920s many Americans began to invest heavily in the stock market Stocks give the owner the ability to share in the profits, if a company does well, or suffer losses, if a company does poorly

Causes of the Crash Speculators were those who tried to make quick money on the stock market: -Many speculators bought stock on margin -Buying on margin means that speculators borrowed money to buy stocks: this works if the stock price goes up, but is disastrous if the stock price falls -Many speculators of the 1920s borrowed 90% of the stock’s value (If a stock cost $100, you would borrow $90. If the stock price began to fall, you would then have to pay back the money you borrowed-which many speculators didn’t have!)

b. Explain the impact of the drought in the creation of the Dust Bowl.

Dustbowl When farmers were unable to pay back their loans, many stopped planting crops In 1932 a drought hit the Great Plains, turning much of the top soil into dust-with the lack of rain and crops, wind blew the dried soil for hundreds of miles

c. Explain the social and political impact of widespread unemployment that resulted in developments such as Hoovervilles.

` As more workers lost their jobs, they were unable to pay their rent or mortgage and were evicted This new class of homeless began to build shacks on the outskirts of cities called shantytowns, or Hoovervilles. Why did people call shantytowns “Hoovervilles”?
