Great Depression By: Kimberly Salvino, Kristen Sposetta, Alex St.Clair, and Morgan Groom

The Start of it All October 29, 1929 was the day that the stock market crashed, causing the start of The Great Depression. It is also known as “Black Tuesday”

Facts March 1930 the unemployment rate rose from 1.5 million to 3.2 million. On February 1931 the “Food Riots” began to break out in parts of the U.S. Hundreds of men and women broke into grocery stores to steal food.

Unemployment

The Life Of the People Life for the people during the Great Depression was hard. Many adults made their children move out and fend for themselves after they turned 16. The wealthy and better off families found themselves asking for handout of breads and pails of stew. Lawns were ripped up and replaced by gardens.

The Dust Bowl The dust bowl is an area of land where there is no vegetation and so the soil has been turned to dust from erosion.

Farmers and the Dust Bowl With the number of meat products decreasing, the government had to buy and destroy herds of cattle. (The dust bowl covered about 4 states.) It was more tragic for farmers to give up their cattle than any other government program, but in return it helped most avoid bankruptcy.

Dust bowl facts In 1931, severe drought occurred in the midwest and great plains. Many crops died and the “Black Blizzard” began. The “Black Blizzard” was a massive dust storm that created drifts as high as 6 feet. By the late 1930’s early 1940’s about 2.6 million people left the Dust Bowl area. Other people that lived in the area still, tried to harvest the crops from abandoned farmlands.

Roosevelt’s New Deal FDR promised that he would end the Great Depression, and he later came up with the “New Deal.” The “New Deal” was made to save capitalism from the Great Depression. He thought that the government should use their powers and money to stabilize the economy.
