Changes in America during great depression

  When the Great Depression hit America it hit it HARD. Everything went wrong business where making any sales, the stock market was horrible the whole economic world was crumbling. People lost mostly everything , they became unemployed so they could barely support their families. So a lot of people went broke and became homeless. People who could not pay their rent  created shacks of tar paper and whatever scraps of metal they could find these were called hoovervilles.The Great Depression came to an end during World War II. It ended due to the new jobs created for building weapons and all the soldiers that needed to go and fight. At the end of World War II the United States became the most powerful country.
