For all Americans, the decade of the 1930s was one filled with frustration and disenchantment. The very tenets of our democratic/capitalistic system came under close scrutiny and vociferous criticism. Some critics diagnosed the system's condition as terminal and predicted its imminent demise. Fed by record unemployment, rampant hunger, and a dulling omnipresent sense of despair, the dire predictions seemed on the verge of becoming realities.
