How did the great depression happen, and how did americans respond to it?

The Great Depression happened primarily because the United States had a terrible economy and did a terrible job of rebuilding it. Americans responded to it by taking their money out of their bank accounts, and put it in their own stashes of cash in their own homes. Therefore, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt decided to propose the New Deal which started the first minimum wage of $0.25 per hour.
