Of Mice and Men The Uplifting Background of the Great Depression, Dust Bowl, and Migrant Workers!

The Great Depression Decade of unemployment, low profits, low prices, high poverty, and barely any trade Worst hit were heavy industry, agriculture, mining, and logging Began on Tuesday, October 29, 1929 and ended in 1941 Stock market crashed on “Black Thursday” FDR formed the New Deal coalition in 1941 to provide federal aid to agriculture and labor unions, among others https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8k0jJdqKP0

The Dust Bowl Series of catastrophic dust storms from Texas up to southern Canada beginning in 1933 Cause major ecological and agricultural damage Caused by decades of extensive farming without crop rotation among cotton, corn, and grain farmers using techniques that promoted erosion coupled with severe drought During the drought, the soil dried out, became dust, and blew away eastwards, mostly in large black clouds Left over 500k Americans homeless, which created a mass exodus and migration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guTek7ipD4U

The Great Migration and the Problem of Migrant Workers Because of the Dust Bowl and Great Depression, many of those Americans moved westward- to California The migration was drastic- 15% of the state of OK moved to CA Estimates of displaced peoples range from 300k-2.3mil Largest migration in American history CA was overwhelmed- 7k new migrants a month LAPD sent 136 deputies to state lines to turn back penniless migrants- the “bum brigade” There was not enough work for all the migrants; many remained poor, homeless, and hungry Many CA farms were corporate-owned; the larger, more modernized, with unfamiliar crops Hard life for migrant workers Eventually, the numbers of migrant workers and families became so great, migrant camps were created Many gave up farming and bought cheap land and shacks until they could buy or build “real” houses
