that was something….I mean an economic/social depression in the cities and the storms and droughts in the country happening simultaneously..WOW.
weirder still??? My folks told me that this wasnt a US phenomenon exclusively. That drought and poverty was rampant world wide during that era.
the wealthiest of people went hungry in many places. It changed a lot of cities and nations.
Still…I wonder was this global depression man made or an event w/o prevention.

The saddest thing about the depression is that the rich did cause it by being greedy. However, it was the poor that suffered.

We’re heading that way right now. Stock up on canned goods, get rid of your paper $ and exchange it for silver & gold. Don’t wait any longer.

Well folks, this thing has been up a year tomorrow, and your reactions have made it great– almost 32,000 hits in one year. Crazy! Thanks for your support. I always mean to do others. My spring break is coming up, perhaps I will.

InTheSticks1881, I seriously doubt any depression will be worse, unless we have an even larger Dust Bowl to throw on top of it.

First off, kudos on the score. It’s excellent. Second, great job on the reminder that African Americans were second class citizens at the time of the Great Depression. With the latest “report card” that ‘Murika sends young, African American males to prison in the ratio of one of every nine, how much have we progressed as a society, in terms of race, since those days almost a hundred years ago?
I dont think we’ve made near enough progress.

here’s what really concerns me, people where a whole tougher back then ,to a certain degree our modern society has made us soft,and brainwashed to always look to big brother in times of need,big mistake,govt at best messed things up,at worst totally destroys things
