On Tuesday, October 29th, 1929, the stock market plummeted and men and women were out of jobs almost immediately, also known as Black Tuesday or The Great Crash. This was the most devastating and tragic stock market crash in United States history. The crash was the beginning of the 10 year Great Depression after World War I which effected all of the United States. The crash began after the famous century, the Roaring Twenties. People lost their jobs overnight, banks closed, and families were losing their homes.
