The colony starved and by January of 1608 there were only 38 of us left in Jamestown . Around this time relief ships arrived in the colony carrying food as well as people. Mostly young unskilled lower-sort men were carried on these ships. Over the years, as relief ships continued to come in, the population would replenish itself and then drastically drop due our colony’s lack of survival skills. The Powhatan were growing tired of our reliance on them and would not meet our demands for food.

As the confidence in the banking system began to erode, people began to make runs and withdrawing all their money leaving the banks empty and foreclosing many of the smaller rural banks. Banks continued to close despite the government's best efforts, as a result, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s (FDR) instituted the banking holiday on 6 March 1933: closing all the banks preventing people from withdrawing all their assets, foreclosing, even more, banks and making the situation worse. When the banks closed FDR started to initiate a plan to inform the American people about how the banks worked, what they do with the money, and how he and the government are going to solve the issue.

History is an essential factor within time, present and future, even today several have learned from events or works written in the past due to their constant lessons and messages being expressed. Within the United States specifically 1929-1941, one event that several learned from is the impact of the Great depression.

For instance, 12.000.000 soldiers were mobilised from 1914 to 1918 and about 2.000.000 soldiers died. This is a decrease of about 16 % of soldiers in 4 years.
