Briefly describe the political and economic situation in the united states after world war 1. then explain how politic and economic factors during the period contributed to the great depression

The economy was on the up and up. An economic boom the states didn't see until after world war two. It was the roaring twenties! Everyone was happy, getting drunk in speakeasies and watching silent movies! Everyone was on the stock market having a good old time! 

Then the stock market crashed, everyone pulled out their money at once, farmers and manufacturers made a surplus of goods, and thus the Great Depression happened. Kinda sad really.
