A time that the US experienced an Economic Trade Off had been after World War 2 when the Great Depression had began. In 1929 after the stock market crash, the nations economy had began experiencing the biggest economic downfall it has ever seen before. The nation had experienced its very own economic trade off. The opportunity cost had been the New Deal launched by President Franklin D Roosevelt. Even though it seemed as if nothing could help this economic crisis, the New Deal did a great deed. It created minimum wages and hours on jobs and it helped expand the labor unions in such industries as steel, automobiles, rubber and so on. The nation had finally began to see hope in the day and slowly repaired itself.
 
The period of Industrial Growth also resulted in an Economic Trade Off. By 1960, President Abraham Lincoln had been elected president. His goal had been to save the economy and save the nation entirely. His primary goal had been to abolish slavery. The South had been mostly made up of slaves and they depended on the North for manufactured goods. After Northern Victory in the Civil War, the slave labor system had been abolished once and for all which resulted in Southern plantations being worth much less. The opportunity cost of the situation had been the South losing a lot after the victory of the Civil War. On the other hand, the nation had abolished slavery and the North had expanded due to the demands of the war.
