The Great Depression affected the entire country. Seven decades later we experienced what is known as the Great Recession. This also affected
America: the ideal foundation of a flourishing, self-governing society, with fortunes to those of a deserving class. A society that could, one day, achieve wealth as a nation, where no one within its borders would be taken advantage of or forgotten. A society, made up of hardworking and dedicated patriots, where all would have the chance to become successful. Greed would be vanquished, the government would be for the people, and a mere mirage of a nation would birth a new world power. However, greed

The Great Depression proved a difficult time for America, a time nobody wanted to ever see again. Sadly, many of the children from the Great Depression have lived to witness a time with many similarities, and yet many differences, to the economy crash of 1929.
