I’ll be honest, maybe it was because I was an AP history student, but we were definitely exposed to to that depression.
I was a student in AP United States History as well, and we never mentioned it even once. We even did presidential outlines and the page made no mention of this depression under Harding. No one talks about it.
That’s a very interesting question. However, I’ve asked the same question before & I’ve been told by many there’s no such thing. When you search for the depression of the 1920-21 on the internet there really isn’t too much mention of it. Unless, I’m searching it wrong.
