when we met.riod i think we met last friday, we dealt with the new deal. we have talked about the economic and the political aspects of the great depression. but what i want to do today is to show that the great depression is a big event and has influences and consequences that go beyond just politics and go beyond just the stock market crash and the economic woes. and i am going to try to spend our time divided evenly among these three aspects of american culture in the 1930 s. how does it affect the family? and again, probably you do, and i do sometimes, think the family is just static throughout history. it never changes. but if you stop and think about it, even in american history, the nature of the family is going to change. and it is going to change rather dramatically in the 1930 s. the role that religion plays in american history is going to vary from decade to decade. from different era to different era. and there is a surprising development in religion during the 19
