During the 1920s, agriculture wasn't doing so well. Farmers were having a hard time recovering from WWI because they had planted a surplus of food and suddenly had no market at the end of the war. And in 1929, the Stock Market crash occured and America went into a downward spiral into the Great Depression, ending the economic good times of the 1920s.

Nothing threatened the economy in the 1920's. In fact, there was no sign of the economy getting worse. What really happened in the 1930's was that the building of the stock marketfell down. This caused people to lose all the money that they had stored in the stock market.

During the 1920's, many people stored all the money they weren't spending, donating, or investing in the stock market, which means it was commonly used for saving. People didn't actually become poor until about a year after the stock market crash. They couldn't pay their bills because that was one of the things people saved up for.

A few years after the stock market was rebuilt, economy went right back up because people could finally save up for bills and other things again.

In general terms, the 1920s and 1930s in the United States may be compared (in fact, contrasted) in these simple terms: good times and then bad times. In the 1920s, the country was riding a post-war wave of economic prosperity, national pride, and widespread confidence. After the market crash in 1929, the country then fell into the Great Depression, the final effects of which were not erased until America entered World War II in late 1941.
