United States during the Great Depression and the New Deal Eras?

Question

What is the context, or/and some specific details about, the cause of the Great Depression and how it affected society. What were the different strategies used to combat the Great Depression. What factors led to the failure of Herbert hoover's strategy and why, in comparison, was F.D.R.'s approach so successful? What are some specific programs of the "New Deal" [accomplishments and limitations]. Did the New Deal get America out of the Great Depression?

I think that what ended the Great Depression was the war!

Answer 1

The war was a contributor on both ends of the depression. The main contributor was the over value of stocks and the sale of stocks with credit  not forgetting the speculator's greed; Hoover was caught up and blamed for things that were not of his making, he was slow in taking action thus received most of the blame.

There were several projects started, Tennessee Valley Project, Damns were built, Roads repaired Flood control levies built, any thing to get people off the street.

Remember the depression was not just an American problem. In Europe, for instance, people were forced to purchase food every day because the prices would change, sometimes every hour. Sound familiar?

There have been some safe guards installed in the economy system, however greed and power will find the loop holes and a sleepy congress can set us up again for bad times.

The history web site can be of more assistance. It would take up much space to be complete and it gets personal.
