The Stock Market Crash- Economic
With the introduction of a credit system, people bought many things with money they had did not have. People invested their money in stocks which were worth less than they were valued and paid with less than half of the money they owed. The over production of grain and so on, all resulted in the stock market crash which would lead not only the United States, but the World, into a great depression. -

The Great Depression- Economic
Coupled with the drop in value of money everywhere and a drought that would last almost a decade, people lost their jobs and would end up homeless. Those who weren't and those who were still suffered from the lack of food and help, none of which was provided until after F.D.R became President Nov. 2, 1932. Even then, change was not immediate. -
Cash and Carry- Economic
Replaced Neutrality Act of 1937 and later 1939. It meant that any country that would like to purchase from the United States would have to pay in cash and carry it on their own ships. Good because they no longer had to rely on promises by other countries to pay back with worthless money and they would not have to risk transporting cargo and as a resultm risk going to war. Bad because F.D.R. wanted to go to war, and later on they did get to help move things back and forth, but still not good. -
