Unboring Great Depression for Kids - Chapter 1: When Everything Crashed
The Unboring Story
Imagine you're standing on Wall Street in New York City on October 29, 1929. It's a Tuesday morning, and something's very, very wrong.
Men in fancy suits are running down the street. Some are crying. One guy just threw his hat on the ground and stomped on it. Another businessman is sitting on the curb with his head in his hands. The noise coming from the New York Stock Exchange sounds like a thousand people screaming at once.
This is Black Tuesday, the day the stock market crashed so hard it changed everything.
What's a stock market? Think of it like this. When you buy a stock, you're buying a tiny piece of a company. If the company does well, your piece becomes worth more money. If it does badly, your piece loses value. On Black Tuesday, almost every stock lost value. Fast.
People had been buying stocks like crazy in the 1920s. Your neighbor bought stocks. Your teacher bought stocks. Even the guy who sold newspapers on the corner bought stocks. Everyone thought they'd get rich.
But here's the problem. Most people didn't actually have the money to buy stocks. They borrowed it. Banks loaned money to anyone who asked. "Sure, kid, here's $1,000. Buy some stocks. You'll pay us back when you're rich!"
