This week we will investigate the Roaring Twenties & the lasting effects that the period had on American culture, & how the "boom time" economy eventually spiraled the country into the Great Depression with the Stock Market Crash of 1929. We will discuss the policies of President Hoover, & how his unpopularity led to the election of FDR, one of America's most important & controversial presidents. (Pictured at left is a "Hooverville," which were shanty towns built by the poor & homeless during the depression years throughout the nation.)
