A lot of people - including me - think FDR's programs prolonged and
exacerbated the Depression.  What really ended the depression wasn't FDR
or his policies, it was the military buildup preceding World War II,
which began in the late 1930s.

I've read that a lot of people were worried about a Communist revolution
in this country, fortunately it didn't happen.  About the closest thing
to such an event was Coxey's Army, a group of World War I veterans who
marched on Washington DC claiming the government should pay them the
bonus it promised back in 1918 (we all know about government promises, or
at least about US government promises).  Coxey's Army was dispersed by US
Army troops commanded by General Douglas MacArthur.

It is not well known that the USA suffered *another* depression in about
1923.  The government (under President Coolidge) did absolutely nothing
and within a year the economy was humming again.
