Banks closed in 1929 primarily due to the onset of the Great Depression, which followed the Stock Market crash in October of that year. As stock prices plummeted, many banks faced severe liquidity issues, leading to a loss of depositor confidence. People rushed to withdraw their savings, causing bank runs that further destabilized financial institutions. Ultimately, thousands of banks failed as they were unable to meet withdrawal demands and sustain operations amid the economic downturn.

Between 1929 and 1931, the American economy experienced a severe downturn marked by the Great Depression, which began with the stock market crash in October 1929. Unemployment rates skyrocketed, reaching about 25% by 1933, and many banks failed, leading to a significant contraction in consumer spending and investment. Additionally, industrial production fell dramatically, and the economy struggled with deflation and reduced economic output during this period.
