What were the good things about the Great Depression?

Answer 1

There were many good things that happened because of the Great Depression. Families and people came together and helped one another.

People with secure fixed incomes did very well because prices were so low .

The CCC was created to provide jobs for unemployed people that helped rebuild the countries infrastructure. They replanted many of the country's forest and helped control erosion.

there were also many other new deals.

There is another thing that you forgot. People could get more rest because they didn't have to carry all that heavy gold around in their pockets. The government stole it and gave them nice light paper money for it.

Another thing that was great about the depression was that people with VD could get free health care from a government program.

Answer 2

The Great Depression created more social cohesion in the United States, a sense of people "rallying together." FDR was elected because of the Depression--and FDR is widely considered one of the three or four best presidents in the history of the United States. Many of the Depression-era initiatives to try to combat unemployment and poverty resulted in public works that remain to this day: dams, highways, hydropower projects, schools, etc.
