This overview highlights the significant events and socio-economic changes from the end of the Civil War through the Great Depression. It covers Reconstruction, industrialization, immigration, and the Gilded Age, leading to the Progressive Movement and significant discrimination issues. The Great Depression's impact, characterized by massive unemployment and a collapsed economy, prompted the New Deal under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Key programs like the WPA, AAA, and Social Security transformed America’s economic landscape, addressing the needs of citizens and reshaping government involvement in daily life.
