Stock Market Crash 1929

Economic Changes during the 1920s Republican presidents are Pro-business and follow a laissez-faire policy Many people experience economic prosperity An Economic Boom!!! Did everyone experience economic prosperity? Who DID NOT? Farmers Native Americans African Americans Let's talk about each group a little more... Andrew Mellon’s tax plan Large tax cuts on wealthy to free up money for reinvestment. Tax burden shifted to the middle class

Who didn't prosper from the economy during the 1920s? 1. Farmers -- Small farmers are hurt by the economy. Post WWI when European farmers begin producing again, American farmers are producing too much and prices fall. Farmers can't afford all of the luxury consumer goods and technology 2. Native Americans -- Most live on reservations and have few luxury goods high unemployment rate and short lifespan 3. African Americans -- faced discrimination, segregation is STILL LEGAL The KKK becomes active again (against African Americans) Big corporations and the wealthy benefited the most from the economy!!

The End of the 1920's In October The NY Stock Market Crashed (marking the beginning of the Great Depression and an end to the Roaring Twenties) Why did it crash? Everyone wanted to sell stocks and no one wanted to buy them (investors panicked) People spent too much during the 1920's and couldn't pay off debts and loans (so they sold their stocks) The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates to encourage Americans to buy products on credit.

poor agriculture during the 1920's -- overproduction = drop in prices High unemployment in some industries slow in automobile sales In some cases, too much is being produced and not enough is being consumed! The prosperity of the 1920's did not include everyone, there was a very unequal distribution of wealth What were some weaknesses of the economy during the 1920's?
