Topic > The Wall Street Crash of 1929-1316

Imagine yourself in a situation where you could never eat enough in one day because you weren't sure if there would be a meal waiting for you the next day. Imagine if those who are considered poor fell from even greater heights and ended up in an even deeper pocket of despair. Imagine if the poorer you were, the hungrier you became. Hunger made you weak and with this weakness you began to find it difficult to think clearly and function properly. Imagine if you needed to find work to support a family, but couldn't muster the strength to look for a job because you first had to find food to have the energy to move. Imagine if riches, power and even wealth made no difference in your situation, everything could be lost and nothing could be gained. Imagine that, despite everything that has happened, a man comes to you and tells you that all the difficulties you faced were nothing more than temporary inconveniences. It tells you that the difficulties of the disorder are not stronger than you, and you will move forward with your head held high. Would you believe this man? Now, imagine living during the Great Depression: The Wall Street Crash of 1929 put an end to the thriving and affluent United States economy in the late 1920s. The crash caused the greatest economic disasters to ever hit the United States and led many to lose everything they had with no chance of regaining it. Simple luxuries and basic necessities were no longer available to most people. They were the things of the past and as time passed it just seemed to disappear completely from their reach. This catastrophe would later be known as the Great Depression. The responsible and accredited man... in the center of the card... still able to push through and not back down from his word. Overall, President Roosevelt's run during his presidency was a tough one, a run that many people would likely have backed away from if they were put in the same position as Roosevelt. All in all, Roosevelt kept his word and is now known as the man who brought us back from the greatest economic disaster the United States has ever faced. ."
