In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 7 Topics 9-10 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 7 (1898-1945).

The stock market crash of October 1929 is often understood as the beginning of the Great Depression. However, the stage was set for a depression long before that date. The combination of agricultural overproduction and historically high tariffs contributed to the start of the depression as did unwise investment practices like buying on margin.

Once the Depression began, Americans were in the mood for some government intervention into their misery and so they elected Franklin D. Roosevelt whose New Deal ushered in a dizzying array of government programs designed to provide relief, recovery, and reform.

There was a great deal of criticism for the New Deal, both from conservatives and from liberals, and the Supreme Court stepped in on more than one occasion to narrow the scope of New Deal programs that were unconstitutional.
