The Great Depression

The Great Depression began in October 1929. This was when the stock market in the United States dropped rapidly. People lost every cent they had and all the money they had wasn't worth anything. During this moment of time the "American Dream" was not in anyones mind. People did not have a penny to spend so therefore the dream was not in close reach for anyone. It was after the great depression when people began to see a better life for themselves, with all their money back everyone was able to fulfill their ambitions.
