Activity #8 Great Depression DRAW/Sketch IT Notes
Dirctions: Using the 30’s Power point slides, complete the Notes.
1. During the 1920s people were wild and crazy. They sat on flag poles, danced the
Charleston, and spent money they didn’t have (credit). People bought new things for their
homes on credit and they invested in the stock market using credit (margin buying).
2. In October of 1929 the stock market crashed! Banks began to close, and many people lost
everything.
3. President Hoover thought the economy would fix itself as it had in the past. Hoover felt that
“prosperity was just around the corner.” However, as the economy worsened, many
Americans named shanty towns (shack towns) after him: ”hoovervilles.”
4. Franklin D. Roosevelt took office in 1933, and immediately began working on a plan he
called his “New Deal,” which was designed to give people jobs and to help those in need.
5. During this time an awful drought affected the Great Plains, which were called the “Dust
Bowl” because of the huge dust storms. Because of the Dust Bowl, farmers had to migrate to
other places to find jobs, and homes and belongings were covered by the dust.
6. In 1941, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the United States entered WWII. The increased
need for production of wartime goods, as well as for soldiers, nurses, and other wartime
workers, helped to relieve the Depression’s effects and set the stage for a postwar recovery.

Define: Buying on the Margin: Buying stock using credit and speculating on
the market.
The buyer buys stock only paying the broker 10% of the total value. Once the
price of the stock increases the buyer sells the stock and pays their broker the
other 90%. This caused the stock market to crash as people and banks were
unable to sell their stock for a price higher than they paid. Everyone owed
money and no one had it, so the company that sold their stock to raise money
did not get their money.
