Photos and the Great Depression

   There were many things that happen during the time near the Great Depression and also during it. In one of the photos, a picture that says "Votes for Women" is shown. Women wanted the rights. Back in the past, they had to protest in order to get what they desired. They protested for what they desired the most, which was the right to vote. In the second photo, there are men from the civil war being shown. They hold instruments in their hands and these men marched into war with the rest of the soldiers to hopefully boost the morale of their comrads. In the last picture, there is a before and after picture. One half of the picture shows the depression. It shows how people were living and how sad their lives were during that time. In the other half, a woman is shown painting what looks like a star on an airplane wing. This half was to get people motivated to win the World War II.
   The Great Depression was an economic failure in North America. It started from 1929 and lasted up long up to 1939. Causes of the Great Depression were war, buying on credit, unequal distribution of wealth, bank failures, and, the main reason, the stock market crash of 1929. It was the most devastating depression ever in the Western world.
