1930's
The ‘30s was a rough decade for America. The stock market had just crashed and the country was in depression. War was breaking out in Europe, a New Deal was being made, and scandals were everywhere. The thirties brought the country many hardships, but it also brought it together due to the fact that we had to work together to pull through the hard times. There were two presidents in the thirties. The first was Herbert Hoover, whom served from 1929-1933. During the first year of his term, the stock market crashed and the country fell into depression. He was called the do-nothing president by some because his efforts to help the economy didn’t do much. On March 4, 1933; Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated into office with a promise of bringing the country out of depression. FDR took immediate action to help the country. He started the New Deal to boost the economy. His efforts helped the economy to grow once again until 1937 when the country fell into another depression that lasted for another year. However, he was respected for his efforts to help the country. Some new laws were passed and some were changed during this decade. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was passed in June of 1930.
