How did the southerners react to the Fantastic Depression? What exactly surface there during the Intense Depression?
Halogen the very beginning, with the stock market crash of October, 1929, a pot of centre class and poor people were not As hard hit, whether they did not ain stocks. Wealthy and high middle class people were hit right absent if they had a lot of money in the horses market.Often they gone their savings because they invested everything within stocks.
Just a mickle of the south was rural, agricultural, and inside a year or so, crops were not being sold because the people who would purchase them were down of work. A lot of stores closed, a lot of businesses ‘went under’ and could not buy things in dictation to sell them. The people in the South were often more poor than in the North and once the depression hit hard, the workforce went trying to find jobs in cities, often not competent to, because factories were closing, etc. Really the South was no different from the rest of the country, except, like parts of the midwest there were a lot of people who lived within rural areas.It was genuinely only after we got into World War II and there were factories and bases opening within the South that the discount had any hope.
I don’t know if Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, etc. were hit by the “Dust Bowl” dryness which was during the time of the Depression. Texas, considered part of the Southmost, was very hard hit by the Dust Bowl Drought, as were lots midwestern and western states. During that time there were huge dust storms on the Plains and areas went for years within some cases without rainfall.
