Presentation transcript:

Life During the Great Depression SSUSH17 The student will analyze the causes and consequences of the Great Depression. b. Explain factors (include over-farming and climate) that led to the Dust Bowl and the resulting movement and migration west. c. Explain the social and political impact of widespread unemployment that resulted in developments such as Hoovervilles.

Causes of the Great Depression Farmers’ crisis/ Over production (surplus of goods, falling prices) Credit purchasing Tariffs (stopped foreign goods from coming into the U.S., but also slowed down foreign trade) Lower Wages Under consumption (b/c people were in debt) Credit buying- too much access to easy money

Stock Market Crash October 24th- Black Thursday, when stock prices plunged and people panicked and pulled out their investments (sold their shares) Oct. 29th- Black Tuesday- when the “bottom fell out of the market”- prices dropped to an all time low As the prices dropped, people panicked and continued to sell, causing the prices to drop even further People who bought stock on margin could not pay back the investors

Stock Market Crash Banks who had loaned all of the money to buy on margin could not get their money back Resulted in bank failures While the crash of the stock market was NOT the only cause of the Great Depression, it was a major blow to the economy, and it made it impossible for the American and world economy to revive itself

Brother Can You Spare a Dime http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F4yT0KAMyo Listen to the song and make a list of things that you learned about the life of the singer before and after the Great Depression.

"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime," lyrics by Yip Harburg, music by Jay Gorney (1931) They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob, When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job. They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead, Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread? Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time. Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime? Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime; Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime? Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell, Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum, Half a million boots went slogging through Hell, And I was the kid with the drum! Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time. Why don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime? Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time. Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime? DISCUSS YOUR FINDINGS!

Hoovervilles As more workers lost their jobs, they were unable to pay their rent or mortgage and were evicted This new class of homeless began to build shacks on the outskirts of cities called shantytowns, or Hoovervilles.
