SECTION 2: HARDSHIPS DURING DEPRESSION Objective: Evaluate the impact of the Dust Bowl on the Depression The Great Depression brought hardship, homelessness, and hunger to millions Across the country, people lost their jobs, and their homes Some built makeshifts shacks out of scrap material Before long whole shantytowns (sometimes called Hoovervilles in mock reference to the president) sprung up

SOUP KITCHENS One of the common features of urban areas during the era were soup kitchens and bread lines Soup kitchens and bread lines offered free or low-cost food for people Unemployed men wait in line for food – this particular soup kitchen was sponsored by Al Capone

CONDITIONS FOR MINORITIES Conditions for African Americans and Latinos were especially difficult Unemployment was the highest among minorities and their pay was the lowest Increased violence (24 lynchings in 1933 alone) marred the 1930s Many Mexicans were “encouraged” to return to their homeland As conditions deteriorated, violence against blacks increased

RURAL LIFE DURING THE DEPRESSION While the Depression was difficult for everyone, farmers did have one advantage; they could grow food for their families Thousands of farmers, however, lost their land Many turned to tenant farming and barely scraped out a living Between 1929-1932 almost ½ million farmers lost their land

Structured Academic Discussion Give an example of how minorities were treated during the Depression.

THE DUST BOWL A severe drought gripped the Great Plains in the early 1930s Wind scattered the topsoil, exposing sand and grit The resulting dust traveled hundreds of miles One storm in 1934 picked up millions of tons of dust from the Plains an carried it to the East Coast Kansas Farmer, 1933

Structured Academic Discussion The Dust Bowl caused… Hoovervilles were…

HOBOES TRAVEL AMERICA The 1930s created the term “hoboes” to describe poor drifters 300,000 transients – or hoboes – hitched rides around the country on trains and slept under bridges (thousands were teenagers) Injuries and death was common on railroad property; over 50,000 people were hurt or killed

EFFECTS OF DEPRESSION Suicide rate rose more than 30% between 1928-1932 Alcoholism rose sharply in urban areas Three times as many people were admitted to state mental hospitals as in normal times Many people showed great kindness to strangers Additionally, many people developed habits of savings & thriftiness

Depression Review Questions DIRECTIONS: After reading Ch. 14, answer the following questions. ***DUE FRIDAY*** “Economic Troubles on the Horizon” Why did businesses fail after housing fell off?
