The correct answer is falling stocks purchased on credit.

During the 1920's, citizens were able to buy stocks on credit.This meant that they could pay a small percentage down (10%) and receive a loan for the other 90% from the bank. This worked well throughout the 1920's, as stocks continually climbed in price. However, when stock prices started to fall this helped lead to the collapse of the entire stock market. Citizens could not pay back their loans to banks and banks lost money the invested in the stock market as well.

Read about the Plessy v Ferguson case. In your own words, write a half-page summary discussing the background of the case and th
ch4aika [34]

Plessy vs. Ferguson was a Supreme Court case that took place in 1896. It all started when Homer Plessy, a man who is 1/8th African American, was asked to move from his seat in the all white section of a train car. Plessy refused to move since he had bought a seat in this section. He was promptly arrested for his refusal to abide by this law.

Homer Plessy would go on to change this law saying that it was unconstitutional. His lawyer argued that this was a violation of his 14th amendment rights. However, the Supreme Court ruled against Plessy. The majority opinion from the Supreme Court stated that this did not violate the 14th amendment as long as the facilities for blacks and whites were "separate but equal."

This ruling drastically changed American society, as other businesses and facilities became segregated by race. These laws would last for almost half a century in the United States.
