What caused banks to close during the Great Depression?

As the economic depression deepened in the early 30s, and as farmers had less and less money to spend in town, banks began to fail at alarming rates. During the 20s, there was an average of 70 banks failing each year nationally. After the crash during the first 10 months of 1930, 744 banks failed - 10 times as many. In all, 9,000 banks failed during the decade of the 30s. It's estimated that 4,000 banks failed during the one year of 1933 alone. By 1933, depositors saw $140 billion disappear through bank failures.


What was the reason for the Franklin Delano Roosevelt and congress started the emergency banking act in 1933?

As the Depression began, people were afraid that the banks would run out of money. There began a "run on the banks" to get deposits out. Some banks had made bad investments and did not have enough money to pay their depositors. Some banks were forced to close. To prevent a panic, FDR ordered all the banks closed and examined. Only those financially sound would be permitted to reopen. This prevented fear about deposits in banks and gave the people confidence in the banks that were permitted to reopen.

What is a resulting condition of the stock market crash?

The Stock Market Crash of 1929 did not cause the Great Depression but was the result of the weaknesses in the economy that had been growing all during the decade of the 20s and the mania for speculation on the Stock Market. Middle class families lost their savings. Bankers and other companies that speculated on the Market went broke. The closing of banks had an impact on the people who had placed their savings in the banks and lost just about everything. Corporations and businesses shut down causing more unemployment. People who had taken out mortgages during the 20s now found themselves unable to make the payments. Houses were forclosed upon. Everyone had to cut consumption which further weakened the economy, as business and industry found themselves stuck with inventory no one could afford to buy. Jobs were scarce and many men simply turned to begging or "rode the rails" looking for work. Unemployment continued to soar during the 1930s.
