Before the crash
• The Stock Market
• The stock market was steadily climbing throughout the 1920s
• Many investors bought stocks with loans, confident that they could repay the loan and make a profit after the stock price went up
![Page 12: Warm-up: 1.How did Henry Ford impact production in the US? 2.What would happen if people saved more than they spent? 3.Spent more than they saved?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d5f5503460f94a40274/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cracks in the System
• Eventually, the stock market ran out of new investors and prices stopped rising
• Professional investors saw this coming and began selling their stocks
• The stock market started declining so even more people started selling which lowered prices even more…(and so on and so on)
• Investors loans were being called in and they couldn’t afford to pay them back

The Crash!
• October 29th, 1929 saw the biggest one-day drop in stock market history. It is known as Black Tuesday
• About $30 billion were lost over the next two weeks (roughly equal to the total wages earned by all Americans in 1929)

After the crash• ALL Americans stopped buying new things out of fear, lack of money, or both
• Created a cycle of economic downturn
• Americans were unable to pay for items they bought on credit so companies would repossess them
• Unemployed move into “Hoovervilles”, or shanty-towns, named after US President Herbet Hoover
