Please hurry!! Many Americans faced crippling poverty, hunger, and homelessness during the Great Depression. In the activity bel
ow, match the appropriate term with its definition to better understand the particular impacts felt by Americans across the economic spectrum. The answer choices are in the picture I included
The Great Depression affected American life such that the following are true:
...Publicly provided food ⇒ Breadlines and soup lines
... Fails to pay their debt ⇒ Foreclosure
... Prone to fire and collapse ⇒ Hooverville
... Causing them to collapse ⇒ Bank runs
The Great Depression happened when there were bank runs as people ran to banks to reclaim their money as a result of the fear that the bank had lost their money loaning it to speculators.
This led to an economic collapse where so many lost their jobs and couldn't pay their mortgages such that their houses were foreclosed and they had to move into shanty towns known as Hooverville. Breadlines and soup kitchens also sprang up to feed them.
In conclusion, the Great Depression was a terrible time.
Federalism because Amendments are proposed at a federal level and is ratified at a state level. Why have only 27 Amendments been added to the Constitution? Because of Informal Amendments and how easy it is to informally amend it rather than formally.
The Soviet Union was not included in the American/British creation of the atomic bomb during the Second World War. They felt they were doing their part in the alliance and did not like being left out of something so important. This helped to further cement distrust.
France gave America the Statue Of Liberty as a symbol of peace and friendship which America and France developed during the war on independence. Hope this helps!
