The United States boasted the largest economy of the world in the 1920s, but the glory was soon followed by an economic crisis that would devastate the country. The Great Depression was the longest economic downturn the United States had ever experienced and lasted from 1929 to 1939. While there is a lack of consensus on exactly how the Great Depression came to happen, overproduction was a leading factor, along with poor banking practices that eventually led to bank failures, ruining millions of families.

For my research topic for this class, I chose to look into the Panic of 1873 and its effects at the state level, particularly as associated with the railroads.

With economic disasters like the Great Depression comes a lot of unemployment and poverty. People like Herbert Hoover wants the economy to bounce back on its own. For these types of plans Roosevelt said, “I have no sympathy with the professional economists who insist that things must run their course and that human agencies can have no influence on economic ills (July 24, 1933: Fireside Chat 3: On the National Recovery Administration).
