Stock market crash

The rich would not be affected again, there would…

Stock value keeps falling: it is twenty percent what it was worth before the crash in 1929 ("About the Great Depression”). Banks are failing, and fear of their failure is causing the people to withdrawal their fund, which then causes the actual collapse of the financial institution. Americans are in need of jobs as well.

Three things I have learned about this year is the stock market crash, WW1, and USS Maine. All of these things had a big role in forming our country into what we have today. They all may not have started out as being big but they turned into some of the biggest history stories. The Spanish american war was started because the USS Maine had been anchored in Havana Bay in Cuba. While just sitting in the Harbor it was blown up. A little while after that America declared war on the Spanish.…

It was an even more pressing issue during the stock market crash and the eventual re-build of our economy. It seems both sides of the aisle have their own opinion on the matter, and nobody is really budging on making a compromise.

shares of the South Sea Company, the hottest stock in England at that time. At first, he sensed the market was going rogue, and as O’Farrell recorded in his book in 2007, he described himself as a man who “could calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the people.” He sold his South Sea shares, pocketing a huge profit of 7000 pounds; but just months later, watching the wild enthusiasm of the bull market and the rising South Sea stock price, Sir Newton regretted his…
