Life During the Depression Chapter 25 Section 3

Events Leading to the Dust Bowl The sod is cleared for farming A severe drought hits the southern Great Plains The soil dries up and the crops die Prairie winds create dust storms Farmers lose farms and move out.

How Did Women Help? Women were able to financially help their families by entering the workplace, but earning less than a man. They also sewed their clothing, baked bread, and canned vegetables. Some women started businesses in their homes.

Escapism Examples of escapist entertainment include soap operas, adventure stories, variety shows, and Shirley Temple movies.

Drifters and Hobos Nearly two million men abandoned their homes to take to the road during the depression.

Frances Perkins The first woman ever to serve in the cabinet. Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins shaking hands with Carnegie Steel Workers during the National Recovery Act drive, July 1933.

California Bound! About 400,000 farmers migrated to California and became migrant workers. So many of them came from Oklahoma that people called them “Okies”.

African Americans in the South Urban workers found their jobs taken by white people the collapse of farm prices crushed African American farmers.

John Collier Head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs Introduced a set of reforms known as the Indian New Deal.

Mexican Immigrants Politicians and labor unions demanded that they be forced to leave. The government offered one-way train tickets to Mexico. Eventually, though, many Mexicans were gathered and shipped to Mexico.

Extreme Political Views Communists and socialists viewed the Great Depression as the death of a failed system. Communism promised the end of economic and racial unfairness.

Fascism Fascism promoted that nations come before the individual and a dictator should run the government.

Radio Programs soap operas, adventure programs, and variety shows
