My paternal grandparents crashed, but didn’t burn. They lost one of two houses, grandpa lost his Wall St. job, but grandma who had graduated high school and two years of business and secretarial school found work in furniture store doing shipping orders. Grandpa took several part-time jobs, Half time and all day Saturday in a hardware store as a stock boy. He also did day labor, whatever he could find. Their two widowed parents moved in with them and they rented out the third floor attic to an even poorer family. They kept the house and went without a car for a time. They kept it, but didn’t use it because of the cost of gas and maintenance. Their diet changed, but nobody went hungry. My mom’s family, in the other hand, were among those whose 1920’s weren’t “roaring.” They had arrived from Poland just before the war, with no marketable skills except manual labor. Grandpa took day labor jobs and grandma did washing and cleaning for “rich” people. When the stick market crashed, the rich were no longer able to pay laundresses and cleaners. Unskilled construction workers resorted to roaming the streets for usable trash, like wood and bits of coal to burn. In 1930, grandpa left in search of work and was never seen again. Grandma got evicted with three children and a few bags of clothes and broken down furniture onto the streets in Brooklyn. Not knowing what to do, she took some meager savings and rode the Long Island Railroad to the summer community of Rocky Point. There, they lived in an old Army tent in the woods and she found work cleaning the Post Office and for the local doctor, his offices and his house. The Depression didn’t affect them as much as they’d always been poor, so it was more of the same, only now they could raise some vegetables, pick wild berries, harvest chestnuts, and eventually kept chickens.
That generation were made of different stuff they didn't expect everything to be easy and dealt with life as it happened unlike today's who expect to be warm happy and wealthy every moment and start crying when they're not
Thank you for this incredible description. It’s 2024 as I write this and I am 52 so I have heard plenty of stories about the great depression but yours is clear and concise. I’m an old lady to have a 16 year old, but I do and I plan to read your description to her. Thank you for sharing.
I read he had taken the posture from a famous Italian actor of the time. Being a newspaper guy he analyzed numerous celebrities and took bits and pieces that he saw the public respond to in a positive manner. And you know how the public always loves a BS’er puffing up his chest. We are just a bunch of apes, aren’t we?
Whnever I see Mussolini I think of the movie Some Like It Hot. The great actor Nehemiah Persoff was famous for doing his Mussolini imitation at parties in Ho9llywood and Wilder wanted him to do his Mussolini as the gangster chief. in that film. He was perfect.
@@poetcomic1 oh wow! I’ll have to watch that again and look for that. My mom said pre-war, in the 1930s, kids would imitate Hitler and Mussolini from newsreels. Their gestures were so comical even the kids made fun of them. Even me, growing up immediately post war remembers the playground limerick “ Mussolini bit his wienie, now it does not work.”
The "Roaring Twenties" are usually characterized as having been a prosperous time. However, this ignores the plight of the farming community, particularly small family farms. The farmers were suffering from chronically low prices for their products plus draughts and floods.
Yep. My grandma was born in 1919 and her parents had a farm in Oklahoma. My g great grandparents moved to central California in 1922 and stayed. He ended up working for Edison so he was lucky.

My paternal grandfather was 26 when the market crashed. He would never talk to us grandkids about the depression. Even when I studied it in high school and asked him questions, he refused to discuss it. After he died in 1992, my dad and his siblings found glass jars full of coins in the crawlspace under the roof. Over $100,000 worth. I can't imagine the kind of suffering that would produce those two results.
Without the still-motion photography pictures & historians. A good amount of what is being viewed. Would have been lost-!!!😭. Many were killed performing their photography art-!!! 😳.
My pop was born in '17 and def. a member of the G.G. but at 25 for Pearl Harbor He was an 'old man' in military by then yet too young to have participated (just a teen) for the depression, much less Roaring '20s. All of my grandparnts born in late '19th century got the worst of it, but hey, the late 1800's weren't exactly flush. What's crazy is how far back it seems yet only 100 yrs. Lots of folks live that long. And to think Great Grands were born soon after Civil War...wild.
We are most definitely in more of a roaring 20s situation right now. All currencies are inflating rapidly, society focused on entertainment and abundance to distract us from the more real issues at hand
Good observation. It gave me pause that "1925" was the first graphic. Either change the title of the history lecture video or change the lecture. Accuracy when delivering a presentation on complex topics in summary form is nearly impossible, but it is much appreciated. Omission is the most common form of telling bad history. Not that this video textbook with talking heads-style treatment of two decades in under an hour is that. Just saying...
If you can't pay your debts, you shouldn't have had them in the first place. Money printing in the twenties should have taught us a lesson but here we are again today at the brink.
@bellestarr9976 My babys momas cousins sisters boyfriends moms friend from work over on 56th street & Jeffrey. She knows this one guy from that jiffy lube over on 52nd & cottage grove,she gets her oil changed there.. ol'boi be in the pit,changing that oil all day. He stays in the big yellow building on 50th & Jeffrey on the 5th floor. He goes to that old man bar over on 73rd & yates,he drinks that crown royal 🤢 Anyways...... He knows this old man who chills there 24/7. The old man, he said yup, he said his great grandfather invented the jitterbug...
I have an old leather blackjack from the 1920s. It belonged to my great grandfather who was a small town constable. He only ever used it on unruly drunks
Even now, in the early part of the mid 2020's, whenever I mention "The '20s" nearly everyone thinks I'm referring to the 1920's, unless I say otherwise.
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Whom ever creatively photographed the still-motion photography pictures. Did a class ( A ) job-!!!🤗. Unfortunately many were killed taking those pictures. Once the war began in the trenches-!!!😭.
Most amusing comment (32:34) : a British Lord's Day Observance Society tour of Europe found "frivolity, hilarity, betting, gambling, excitement, revelries". So they had a very good time.
This really makes you shudder when you think about the crash that's to come to us... We are astronomically farther out on a limb than they were in 1929. Back then we still had a manufacturing base that could be retooled and geared up. We have none of that now. No one will be able to eat computer code or apps.
Yes just got finished watching documentary of the roaring twenties and yes it seems all too common especially 2007 and 8 in the, they did exactly in 2008 what they did in 1929 and that was to freeze credit and it dropped everything and broke the world and then they repeated the same mistake about 100 years later
The highest unemployment rate during the Great Depression was 24.9% in 1933, for a total of 12,830,000 people out of work. In 1939 the unemployment rate was 17%.
100% of the time, the markets always crash after a Fed Rate cut. Usually the rate cut triggers a brief market euphoria then pop goes the weasel as the bubble bursts. When they cut rates it’s because they have confirmed stuff is hitting the fan economically. So just wait for the Fed rate to happen.
Rich people didn't want to pay taxes back then either. Just tuck tail and leave your country, to save yourselves and your money. While throwing everyone else under the bus.
@Susieq26754 Let's do some what should be simple math for most people. I make $10 a year and pay 28% tax and you make $100 a year and pay 28% tax who pays more????
You are seeing corrupt Capitalism at one point it made all people rise up because you had competition. It was great then. But when the gov’t and big business get together it falls! No competition, no capitalism!
The comment about the people escaping into fantasy is so apropos to our current society. Here, we are 100 years later, and we're repeating many of the same mistakes. Will America survive this time?
When they say "Pacific means" do they mean Pacific Ocean? You should have been more clear. Or else, this was the start of all of our pacific/ specific trauma.
I was today years old when i really understood that the lens with which we view historical events is skewed by our own perception of the world. "They hired the money, didnt they?" Yes, what the heck yes. Europe started a WORLD WAR, not just two countries, but these angry european monarchies just could not live next to each other so America had to come put an end to it. Then, Britain and France can't pay back the money they borrowed and "America should have forgiven the debt because 2 years of prosperity" maybe they didnt exactly say this but the video ends as if the great depression was a product of us not forgiving war moneys asked for by monarchies just "honoring treaties" . I feel like y'all intentionally missed some stuff. Im glad Lindeberg was exciting and all though. He a real one. First transatlantic flight ever.
Great video! I agree but also disagree with the final statements. Given the history and period of time with Italians and German Fascism after WW1 leading up to WW2. I think the criticalness of the state or nation was part of the required need at the time post WW1 to build the peoples spirits at the time. But if you look at the core of what they did and the ideas. A better one that actually covers it is Blood in an Idea. If you look at the tools used in Fascism, they absolutely apply to other groups and forms of political control. Not just as a complete state, but movements which is the bigger concern leading to a complete take over
There has never been an economic program called "Trickle down economics"! Reagans economic policy called Supply Side Economics!! In a nutshell it told corperations that have become these massive monopolies due to the government bailing them out of their corrupt business dealings that they had to be profitable to survive and not expect the tax payers to come to their rescue! Aka FREE MARKET CAPITALISM! Survival of the fittest! People chose the products and services they want not the government! Perhaps you should do some research and educate yourself rather than muttering the nonsense other people say
Still need to make sure they aren't in derivatives and other "exciting" money making ventures. Just boring loans for non-investors who need a loan for personal reasons. When 2008 happened, we had credit unions who had monies in a big financial institution that was involved in such stuff - so contagion.
At last, a video that doesn't romanticize the past with photos of rich white people leaning against their cars, pretending that all was well in the "good old days." Everyone wanting to live in the past should watch this video.
Most of America was a 3rd world country preww1. It became a 1st word due in part the others has bombed themselves back 100 years. For most of its history it was a place they sent losers from Europe.
@@terry4137 I'm 43. I'm sorry but they're just skimming the surfaces of really serious and fatal issues here. It's called fluff. It's inaccurate and further more and worst of all ITS BORING, TRITE AND ITS IRONIC YOU SAY I DONT GET IT lol
@@hhwippedcream huh? If you got to explain the retort it's not a good retort I would've just shut up. I'm pointing out all the uncomfortable truths about this newsreel style documentaries.

Religion is myth and superstition. There are no magic fairy sky daddies. No God, just a human created story because we can't handle that we die and can't do a thing about it.
This blurring in documentaries is one of the most annoying things about this site. It's a HISTORICAL DOCUMENTARY, not a live leak compilation, why TF does TH-cam insist on censoring anything that isn't child friendly.... Go to yt kids for that shit
I just love historical videos that are censored!!! Might as well censor the whole thing!! And yes I know it's ut and their censoring rules! But really, what's the point of even airing the video?? I refuse to give a thumbs up for censored historical content!! How I despise ut!
Capitolism needs a balance. Some regulation to prevent financial abuse works. THERE IS NO OTHER BUSINESS philosophy THAT FUNCTIONS TO BENEFIT SO MANY PEOPLE!
Gave up after the 20th commercial. I guess I will never know which was longer.... the adds or the completely chopped up show. What was I watching anyway?....It was something about history or something like that...right? Probably won't be subscribing to this channel...the commercial channel.
Geez. So how many billions of QE II's likenesses are about the world? Postage stamps, currency, coinage, souvenirs... 🙄 And I'd like to hear one of these British documantarians dare criticize the past queen or the current king and say they aren't always right.
we did. . . in the late 80s and again in the early 2000s. . . . . it didnt work out so well. . . . two recessions. . . two wars in Afghanistan and two openings for right-wing nutt cases like house speaker nuke grinchkin and later VP dick chaingang
Your soundtrack is too damn loud! I gave you a thumbs down. Can't hear the narrator because he's overwhelmed by your annoying background soundtrack which is too loud!
This year will mark the 95th Anniversary of The Great Depression. Why is it that whenever the nation is in an economic tailspin, a Republican was in the White House? 😕
Jimmy Carter was in charge for the recession of the 70s. Bill Clinton was in charge for the roaring 90s and the 2000 market crash. The democrats more often than not crash the economy leaving a conservative republican to fix it

The "Roaring Twenties" was a time of degradation.
Because whenever anybody does the history of the roaring twenties they always focus on the major cities and what was happening there.

Here we are again 100 years later doing the same thing again and the outcome will be worse 10,000 fold. May God have mercy on our souls.
And why not! History always repeats itself because people who are in power are warmongers, like Puten.
Oh look, we are in the roaring 20's again! And it all seems so familiar!😂
And how did the 20s end?

Nah! Where's the great music and the fun? Definitely we are not in a decade long party like many where in the 1920s.

Thanks awesome documentary 👍🏾 would like more content like this please thanks again!!
Same, Most of the guys who fought in World War II were born and raised during the roaring 20s then Depression
We skipped the roaring 20's and moved straight to the great depression.
We are most definitely in more of a roaring 20s situation right now. All currencies are inflating rapidly, society focused on entertainment and abundance to distract us from the more real issues at hand
We are so not in a depression it's not funny, and to even think we are is psychopathic.

What was the "employment rate" during the Great Depression?
It was very rock bottom until the New Deal was signed then Pearl Harbor which America went into overdrive for WWII
5 people working
The highest unemployment rate during the Great Depression was 24.9% in 1933, for a total of 12,830,000 people out of work. In 1939 the unemployment rate was 17%.
10:39. Is that Sidney Riley.
I can’t believe they are using almost the same slogan 😮😮 history always repeats itself !
And the tariffs.
100% of the time, the markets always crash after a Fed Rate cut.
Usually the rate cut triggers a brief market euphoria then pop goes the weasel as the bubble bursts. When they cut rates it’s because they have confirmed stuff is hitting the fan economically.
So just wait for the Fed rate to happen.
Rich people didn't want to pay taxes back then either. Just tuck tail and leave your country, to save yourselves and your money. While throwing everyone else under the bus.

Watch the Roaring Twenties 1939 James Cagney movie.
At last, a video that doesn't romanticize the past with photos of rich white people leaning against their cars, pretending that all was well in the "good old days." Everyone wanting to live in the past should watch this video.
Most of America was a 3rd world country preww1. It became a 1st word due in part the others has bombed themselves back 100 years. For most of its history it was a place they sent losers from Europe.
The roaring 20s always meant the style of popular culture to me. I don't relate the term to politics.
22:47 that's enough shit for me. I do not need to hear al Johnston pretend he's a black man singing jazz
Just be thankful that he wasn't in blackface.
@@kiwitrainguy not far from it though
2020 vision bright shadow, feels like north ice berk, i supposed ill use the opposite end of the flash light tree too see a shadow now
why don’t you talk about spain
11:11 but this is still dull
Move on! Too young you’d never get it anyway! Good day!
Divine’s right. In spite of 100s of clips. Why? The Repetitive party line. Nothing learned. The vid assures the ignorance of Americans continues.
@@terry4137 I'm 43. I'm sorry but they're just skimming the surfaces of really serious and fatal issues here.
It's called fluff.
It's inaccurate and further more and worst of all ITS BORING, TRITE AND ITS IRONIC YOU SAY I DONT GET IT lol
Weird and disjointed - as if the doc has to keep moving lest something uncomfortable surface.
@@hhwippedcream huh?
If you got to explain the retort it's not a good retort
I would've just shut up. I'm pointing out all the uncomfortable truths about this newsreel style documentaries.
This is weak sauce.
As was ..ok I had to reread the entire damn thing.
Although I still don't know who you are insulting ... Or siding with
And the USA 🇺🇸 seems increasingly in decline from 2021-now
((( cue the sad music ))) "we are a nation in decline. . . pause. . . . and i alone can fix it"
Hedonism unbridled. Anything and everything except what God wants for people.
Religion is myth and superstition. There are no magic fairy sky daddies. No God, just a human created story because we can't handle that we die and can't do a thing about it.

This blurring in documentaries is one of the most annoying things about this site. It's a HISTORICAL DOCUMENTARY, not a live leak compilation, why TF does TH-cam insist on censoring anything that isn't child friendly.... Go to yt kids for that shit
I just love historical videos that are censored!!! Might as well censor the whole thing!! And yes I know it's ut and their censoring rules! But really, what's the point of even airing the video?? I refuse to give a thumbs up for censored historical content!! How I despise ut!
Non alter articles
Capitalism isn't working because capitalists are SO GREEDY!
Capitolism needs a balance. Some regulation to prevent financial abuse works. THERE IS NO OTHER BUSINESS philosophy THAT FUNCTIONS TO BENEFIT SO MANY PEOPLE!
Nope capitalism does work
Not so roaring 20s. 😢
Gave up after the 20th commercial.
I guess I will never know which was longer.... the adds or the completely chopped up show.
What was I watching anyway?....It was something about history or something like that...right?
Probably won't be subscribing to this channel...the commercial channel.
Brave browser omg
also, if you have a vpn change your country to the caribbean somewhere. I don't get any ads and I'm always amused by everyone else's complaints.
Geez. So how many billions of QE II's likenesses are about the world? Postage stamps, currency, coinage, souvenirs...
🙄
And I'd like to hear one of these British documantarians dare criticize the past queen or the current king and say they aren't always right.
Just go live in the bush ❤
we did. . . in the late 80s and again in the early 2000s. . . . . it didnt work out so well. . . . two recessions. . . two wars in Afghanistan and two openings for right-wing nutt cases like house speaker nuke grinchkin and later VP dick chaingang
Your soundtrack is too damn loud! I gave you a thumbs down. Can't hear the narrator because he's overwhelmed by your annoying background soundtrack which is too loud!

Recession on the way

Too many peolle living above yhrir means just ss today
This year will mark the 95th Anniversary of The Great Depression. Why is it that whenever the nation is in an economic tailspin, a Republican was in the White House? 😕
I didn't realize Roosevelt was a Republican
The Crash of 1929, Herbert Hoover.@@jasonromage6129
Because someone has to straighten the mess out.
Jimmy Carter was in charge for the recession of the 70s.
Bill Clinton was in charge for the roaring 90s and the 2000 market crash.
The democrats more often than not crash the economy leaving a conservative republican to fix it
Man without God is a beast.
God without Man is nothing.
Nope there is no GOD
Hooray for the crusades!
Man WITH God is also a beast.
Because daddy was a punk lol
