The Great Depression & The New Deal
After World War I had ended,the 1920's, became known as "The Roaring Twenties" or also as "The Jazz Age" due to full prosperity. Businesses were booming and everything was amazing, but on October 29th, 1929, the Stock Market crashed sending America's economy in a downward spiral. During the 1930's, many became unemployed, this time of great disparity became known as The Great Depression. Franklin Delano Roosevelt made the New Deal to try and end this time of great disparity.
