Thesis Statement Exemplar:

The 1930s was an extreme contrast to the boom of the
1920s as the Great Depression sent the country into a
downward economic cycle. The Superficial Prosperity of
the 1920s and over speculation led to the Stock Market
Crash of 1929, serving as the most substantial cause of
the Great Depression. As a result, the most significant
impacts of the Great Depression on Americans was the
staggering unemployment rate of 25% and the
emergence of Hoovervilles.

Closure

Evaluate the causes and initial impacts of the

Great Depression on Americans.
What were the most significant causes of the Great

Depression and what impacts seemed to affect

Americans the most immediately after it began?
