==The Great Depression began officially with the crash of the stock market on Tuesday, October, 29, 1929. This event, known as Black Tuesday, made Americans aware of the financial crisis that was at hand. Slowed demand for consumer goods, automobiles and homes; the failure of many banks made insolvent through poor loan practices including speculation on Wall Street; and reduced foreign demand for US manufactured and agricultural goods all contributed to this worst of American economic crisis. For nearly a decade US unemployment levels would hover between 20%-25%, and many Americans placed blame upon President Hoover whose laissez faire ideals came into conflict with the rising calls for drastic government action to provide aid to its citizens and promote economic recovery.==
