Advanced American History

1.  Great Depression Quiz #1 -- on the causes of the Great Depression (ch.12.1)
2.  Now that we have analyzed some of the complex causes of the Great Depression, we will examine about 20 minutes of documentary footage to understand the consequences of economic collapse.  Aside from joblessness and widespread despair, the deflation, unemployment and bank and business failures led some to demand radical solutions to the nation's problems. 

Assignment:  Questions on Hoover's response to the Depression (384-388)
