In the 1920s, the United States economy was growing steadily. Unfortunately, poverty is now widespread among farmers and immigrants. Until now, the United States has made many attempts to help provide care and relief to those living in such poverty, but despite all its efforts, our country is still experiencing this depression. Many farmers have fallen into debt and are unable to repay it. Many farmers have abandoned their farms and significant migration from rural land to urban areas is now occurring across the country.

The crash of 1929 would send the United States into a long depression. The economy was at its lowest, businesses were ruined, banks destroyed and much more damage had an impact on the population. Hopefully people will find a way to get the stock market back on its feet. Who knows how long this depression will last. Works Cited Brinkley, Alan. American History. Hill McGraw.
