How did each of these contribute to the Great Depression?

- Stock Market Speculation: Many people bought stocks hoping to become rich, and made prices higher, and made the stocks unaffordable and unpayable. People did not have enough money to cover their losses.

- Rising Consumer Debt: People's debt rose faster than their income, because of credit.

- Buying Stocks on Margin: By 1929, stock prices had tripled, stocks could be bought on a 10% down payment called a margin, and many times, people did not have the money to cover up their losses when prices dropped.

- Overproduction of Goods: The 1920's witnessed rapid economic expansion, as manufacturers made new goods, but many consumers lacked money to buy the goods, so there were more goods produced than sold.

- Federal Reserve Policies: The Federal Reserve increased the amount of money in circulation which stimulates spending, production, and employment.

- Shaky Banking Practices: With no government regulation of the banking, the banks were not able to insure depositors money, so many people were unable to withdraw their money from the bank. Banks also lent consumers more money than they were able to repay. The banks also made shaky investments.

2. The Great Migration was the movement of 6 million African-Americans out of the rural Southern United States to the urban Northeast, Midwest, and West that occurred between 1910 and 1970. This event brought more colored people into the United States.
3. Women's suffrage (also known as female suffrage, woman suffrage or woman's right to vote) is the right of women to vote in elections in the late 19th century. This made women more accepted and they were able to vote shortly after.

POLITICAL UNREST- By trevor, chandler, and breanna

1.) Rising immigration.
A flood of immigrants, eager for jobs, fueled this industrial growth and a population boom in Northern cities.

2.)THE RED SCARE:The word Red has long been associated with the Communists and Socialists, while "White" has been associated with the conservatives. For instance, in the aftermath of World War I, control of Russia was contested between the Red Army of the Bolsheviks and various White armies.
3.)FEAR OF COMMUNISM:As the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States intensified in the late 1940s and early 1950s, hysteria over the perceived threat posed by communists in the U.S. became known as the Red Scare.
4.)Trial of sacco and vanzetti-the trail was the height of the post-World War I Red Scare, and the atmosphere was seething with anxieties about Bolshevism, aliens, domestic bombings, and labor unrest. Revolutionary upheavals had been triggered by the war, and one-third of the U.S. population consisted of immigrants or the children of immigrants.
