Short Summary
Before 1929, we were living the American Dream. It was the roaring twenties, and the United States made great progress.
However, due to the stock market crash of 1929 and several other economic issues, the Great Depression occurred and shattered the American Dream.
Luckily, with the help of a strong leader, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and his New Deal and Social Security Act, the American Dream was saved. Presently, we believe we are living the American Dream.
