Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt were the presidents during the Great Depression.
Vladimir Lenin was one of the most important members of the Bolshevik Party. The majority of the Russian Revolution and the need to implement a communist system was the responsibility of the Bolshevik Party. Once the revolution was successful, Lenin was looked to as the leader of the new communist state.
Stalin continued this communist system after Lenin was done being leader. Stalin's central planning system ensured that the Soviet Union's economy was controlled by the government, as well as the media outlets. This was especially true during World War II.
The Underground Railroad was the name of the escape routes used by slaves to escape the South and flee to the North. It was a network of special routes and safe houses that were used by both slaves and abolitionists who were sympathetic to their cause of escaping slavery. It started in the late 1700's and ended after the abolition of slavery. Canada was a popular destination, as slavery was prohibited their and had a longer border for easier access.
