Boom (1920s) Bust(1930s)

The great stock market crashed in 1928. It crashed because everyone sold there stocks. Also people started buying with credits. In the stock market the bull market is when it is going up and bear market is when it is going down.

Presidents 1920-1923 Warren G. Harding 1923-1928 Calvin coolidge 1928-1932 Herbert hoover

They were republicans and so they did not want to do anything about the crash.

November 3rd Ryan Gardner Today for half the period we learned about the New Deal. This was the idea the president Franklin Roosevelt had to get us out of the great depression. During the 2nd half of the period we worked on our videos.

November 4th Lindsay Herbst __Election of 1932__ Republican- Herbert Hoover, "Laissez Fair" vs. Democrat- Franklin Roosevelt, "The New Deal"

- Roosevelt Wins by a landslide! - What president Roosevelt is know for...
 * Hundred Days (Public Works Act)- in his first hundred days as president he funds various programs such as this Public works Act. This act created many jobs by building and repairing large scale public works such as dams, bridges, schools or hospitals. These projects provided jobs to revive the economy following the great depression. He also invested money to encourage the arts and theater.
 * Laws for Banks- before these regulations, it was a common crisis for banks to shut down and escape with all of peoples money. To fix this devastating issue and to revive peoples trust in banks, he shut down all banks for two days and created the law that banks must ensure $100,000 of your money.

- Controversy behind Roosevelt?
 * although the economic situation did improve slightly, some argue he glamorized the idea he was actually improving the country
 * spent more than our country had, putting us in debt
 * court packing plan- when the supreme court starting cracking down on some of his "unconstitutional tactics" he created a plan to add six new supreme court in which he would choose. (of course these new justices would support him). The plan fails regardless.
