RJA #3b: Narrowing Research Topic

By doing the Great Depression, I chose to focus more on the Stock Market Crash. There were many other routes i could have taken with the Great Depression, but i want to narrow it more to just the causes of the Stock Market Crash. There are many differnt opinions on this and i believe that i can find alot by just doing the Crash. People debate on the causes so thats what i am going to primarily focus my paper on.
