Overview: The Great Depression and the New Deal. While many people in the 1920's were deeply upset about many of the social changes

that were occurring, the economy was fairly strong and people were at least optimistic about the future. When the housing and stock markets collapsed in 1929, however, the United States entered its worst economic period in history. By 1933, the unemployment rate in America had risen to more than 25% and many people not only lost their jobs, but also everything they owned. President Herbert Hoover tried to fix the economy with little success. His successor, Franklin Roosevelt had some small successes in repairing the economy with his "New Deal", but it took a second world war to truly bring the American economy back to life.
