As a result, well-off families who had all their finances invested in stocks went broke over night. The crash of the stock market left 10,000,000 savings accounts empty.

After getting appointed to the Secretary of the Treasury Mellon instituted the Mellon plan which was controversial because he believed that by lowering tax rates across the board, he could increase the U.S’ overall tax revenue. During the Great Depression Mellon became very unpopular. He was about to be impeached until he resigned in 1932. Mellon was the third wealthiest man in the U.S. behind Jon D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford, he was worth around 300-400 million dollars. __**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">PREZI: **__ [] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">[] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">[] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; vertical-align: baseline;">[|__http://millercenter.org/president/hoover__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; vertical-align: baseline;">[|__http://hoover.nara.gov/education/hooverbio.html__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; vertical-align: baseline;">[|__http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1919/wilson-bio.html__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; vertical-align: baseline;">[|__http://millercenter.org/president/wilson__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; vertical-align: baseline;">[|__http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1600.html__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; vertical-align: baseline;">[|__http://militaryhistory.about.com/od/industrialmobilization/p/lend-lease-act.htm__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; vertical-align: baseline;">[] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">h[|ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; vertical-align: baseline;">[] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; vertical-align: baseline;">[|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz#The_Jazz_Age__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; vertical-align: baseline;">[|__http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Garvey__]
