Agreed, the significant economic impact of the 1929 stock market crash led to the Great Depression in the 1930s. During this time, the U.S. faced high unemployment rates, a decline in industrial production, and lower international trade. You made an excellent observation regarding key factors that contribute to it, including insufficient middle-class purchasing power, poor agricultural conditions, and high tariffs. As you commented on my discussion forum, the economic challenges resonate with current issues, such as rising prices and increasing unemployment. The Great Depression disproportionately affected African Americans, Mexicans, women, and the disabled. Many African Americans lived below the poverty line, facing housing struggles and discrimination. Mexican Americans were unfairly repatriated due to job competition concerns, violating civil liberties. In response to the Great Depression, the government implemented the New Deal to assist marginalized groups. The New Deal initiatives sought to combat discrimination, provide job opportunities for African Americans, expand social security for the disabled, and empower women in government roles. That is a good point, and I would add that the New Deal aimed to improve the lives of those previously neglected.
