Question

when stock prices began to fall in the United States how did Americans react

Answer 1

In the days leading up to the Great Depression, when stock prices began to fall in the United States, investors rushed to withdraw all their money from the market--which led to the Great Crash of 1929. 

Answer 2

No one really though much of it, and the people who actually did were already rich and thought they would gain money from the lower class losing it. Little did they know, they were very very wrong and this is how the great depression began( which actually affected the rich and poor!! It affected everyone.)
