Most people in the United States were unhappy. Why? Because of the Great Depression. To fully understand the depression we have to go back ten years. Back then the US seemed like paradise people had cars, went to parties, had big houses, and were pretty well off. That was before Black Tuesday. Black Tuesday sent most people into debt or made them broke. To make things worse the weather went fowl. The weather brought droughts and killed all of the crops ruining the years harvest. Huge dust storms rushed throughout the Great Plains.
The prairies became known as the Dust Bowl. People living in the Dust Bowl area moved from their homes to California and the surrounding states. Thankfully, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover helped the US recover after the crash. Franklin D Roosevelt created organizations such as the CCC, WPA, and the AAA to help millions of hungry Americans get food and work.
