The Great Depression: what caused it to begin in America?

This collection looks at the major cause of the Great Depression. These causes include the stock market crash of 1929, artificial boom of the Roaring 20s and drought that lasted throughout the 1930s. 

For a Project Zero exercise, I chose the "Tug of war" exercise that is listed under perspectives, controversies & dilemmas. The students will be required to look at after the Roaring 20s. What I am looking for is even though it was a time of prosperity I want them to point out the artificial boom and those groups that it was not benefiting financially during that time.
