The Great Depression: Striving for Prosperity in America
The Stock Market Crash of 1929 marked an era of turmoil
and instability for America known as the Great Depression
Millions of people who lost their life savings and their jobs
eventually became homeless, only to find that their president
Herbert Hoover, felt the government should not intervene.
However, New York governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt said,"
pledge myself to a New Deal for the American people. And
when he was elected to office in 1932, he made good on that
pledge. Through a series of programs, he stimulated the
economy, got people back to work, and protected the American
people through the Great Depression.
In 1935, for example, Roosevelt created the Works Progress
Administration (WPA). The WPA created much-needed jobs for
the unemployed, at the same time improving the country as a
whole. WPS workers erected buildings like schools and post
offices. They also worked on bridges, highways, and other
Infrastructure projects. In addition, the WPA found work for
people with artistic capabilities, such as writers, musicians, and
theater directors. In fact, WPA murals still exist. You may have
