One major cause that the great depression started was that  people pulled their money out of banks all at one time. another cause was  that  the stock market crashed on black tuesday and every one also pulled their money out of it. another cause could be farmers did not rotate their crops and therefore the dust bowl started.

Now that i talked about major causes i will explain the major effects. The people that pulled money out of the banks and the banks had money invested in stock market and stuff like that so they were not giving the people their money because they did not have it all. if people did not pull out of the banks and stock market it would not have been as tragic of a down turn.  There were alot of people that lived in hoovervills and could not afford to eat good food and not have a large supply or excess amounts of it.

If people did not pull out of the banks and stock market it would not have been as tragic of a down turn, therefore they would beable to sustain  life at a lot larger supply and not have a giant tragity. But luckly we got a new president (FDR) that started to have plans to bring a economy up to normal standerds.
