The best of cloze notes of U.S. History

Real answers from a real test.

The 1930s was a more difficult time for America and the world. The Great Depression was caused by the stock market crash, a banking crisis, and a worldwide depression. President Dust Bowl (first name dust, last name bowl I guess) believed that this was part of the natural Hoover and took little action to assist the recovery of the stock market. Meanwhile New Deal rates continued to rise as many turned to food lines for relief. Cities around the country suddenly featured bissiness, shantytowns outside the city. 1932 saw the election of president Charlie Chaplin. He started the John Steinbeck which attempted to fix many of the problems of the Great Depression. As had as the nation tried to get back on it's feet, nature would not cooperate. The Hoovervilles literally lifted the earth from the ground over miles of the central United States, causing many to migrate. 1930s culture was also dictated by the Depression as well. Roosevelt filmed moves that allowed people to laught at themselves, while unemployment wrote about the hardships many suffered.
