US History ((Class B))

[He blows out a puff of air and looks up from the book.]

I'm not good with history. Did you know that the Great Depression was known as The Dirty Thirties because of the Dust Bowl in the Midwest? It was over farming and the lack of knowledge that caused the depression to begin with. The banks were having a hay day with foreclosures on massive amounts of property because the farmers couldn't pay the mortgage. How could they when nothing was growing?

It wasn't until the Administration of the new presidency that came in and showed the farmers a new method of rotation that we slowly started to recover. The Black Monday and Black Sunday thing was just the beginning. The Great Migration to California was a dead end for some and a lot of people died from starvation and dehydration while they crossed the desert.
