The Great Depression and //the Dust Bowl//

media type="custom" key="8631674" =The Great Depression and the New Deal= The Great Depression was the biggest economic crisis America has seen even to this day. n It had caused many huge problems that had helped make it worse. One of these problems was the Dust Bowl. The Dust Bowl was an environmental disaster. It was caused by a long drought and high winds, but the main reason it was caused it because farmers were clearing to much of the Great Plain’s grasses away, exposing the top soil. With the drought the ground became very hard and brittle.

There wasn't a lot of opposition to FDR's New Deal, but what opposition that was their was a huge problem. The Supreme Court was filled with a lot of old people from previous presidents. He wanted to change this, but the people on the Supreme Court believed his New Deal policy was only to fill the Supreme Court with Liberals. The Supreme Court also ruled the NRA unconstitutional. Overall the Supreme Court was the biggest problem of FDR's New Deal policy, but after a conservative justice resigned President Roosevelt won by appointing a liberal to that position.

The President's New Deal policy worked very well for what he intended it to do. Not what the Supreme Court thought it was suppose to do. It had helped bring America out of the Great Depression. It did not end it. It did this because it had raised the hopes of many Americans and put many people to work. Also it worked well because it brought many new ideas to farming techniques, and to banks & businesses. Many of the new thoughts that the New Deal introduced are still used today. Like the payroll tax, and the back up everyone's money in the banks. Overall the New Deal worked very well for what it was intended.

=Reflection= The first thing I did to create my video was to write my narrative. Then after I had did that I went to google and found the images I needed to back up my narrative. Once I did that I went a recorded it until it sounded good. Next I dropped in all of my images where I needed them in my audio. I adjusted the length of all of them to fit properly. Then I added in the texts at the bottom of all my pictures of where I found them, and that's how I created my video.
