Today in US History, we alked more about the stock market crash. People kept buying stocks and prices continued to go up and up. Some people would get people to buy certain stocks either for good reasons or bad.We also watched another video today, that also talked about the Wall Street Stock Market crash in 1929. At the beginning of the year, everyone was happy and considered it a new year and a fresh start. The year of 1920 was one of the first years that people started buying and selling stocks. If a stock had a n offer for it, the price went up. If there wasn't an over, then price went down.After World War I, everyone was excited and the government made a promise taht from now on, no one will ever have to live i npoverty again. New inventions and products were introduced. Electricity was becoming a big thing. Toasters, washing machines, fridges, credit(buy now, pay later), movies, hair products, deoderant, and much more were some of the new inventions.There were some men who were really famous for nothing but playing the stocks. Some of the men had done nothing their entire life to make a living except for playing the stocks. Still, the men made extreme amounts of money.
