The beginning of the Depression…<br />

• In the fall of 1929, the United States began to<br />

fall into an economic depression.<br />

• People, businesses, and even banks lost all of<br />

their money.<br />

• One third of the entire US population did not<br />

have a job.<br />

• Unfortunately, during this time the Plains of<br />

the US experienced a drought; this killed many<br />

crops and many farmers lost their farms.
