Hardship and Suffering in the 1930’s (Ch. 14, Sec. 2) 1. Life in the Cities During Depression 2. Life in Rural Areas During Depression 3. Social & Psychological Effects of Depression

What was life like in the cities during the Depression? Many people lost their jobs, and were evicted Many lived in the streets (parks) Others lived in shanty towns (makeshift houses of wood, cardboard, even old rusted car bodies) Soup kitchens, food and bread lines, and charitable organizations provided some relief Hard times led to racial violence over jobs

What was life like in the rural areas during the Depression? Many farmers turned to tenant farming when the banks foreclosed (400,000: ) Farmers in the Great Plains had removed protective prairie grass to plant crops Drought and windstorms during the 1930’s turned Great Plains into a giant Dust Bowl Hundreds of thousands (farmers) moved west to look for work

What were the social & psychological effects of the Depression? Many men lost hope (unemployed) & left their families (wandered the country as “hoboes”) Women canned food, sewed clothes, & worked odd jobs to survive (no right to work) Malnutrition plagued children (cut child-welfare programs) & many schools closed Many people suffered poor health / young people had to sacrifice their dreams of college Some people saw no hope in sight and simply committed suicide (rate rose over 30%)
