When someone thinks about the 1930’s, the first thing that may come to their mind is the Great Depression. “The age of the Great Depression began with the worst economic collapse in American History and ended with the most catastrophic war in modern world history.” (T.H. Watkins) America was once the land of opportunity, hope, and optimism. But during the depression it became the land of desperation and despair. (American History – 1930-1939)

Another big event was the Dust Bowl. It started when huge clouds of dust blew from the plains to the East Coast. “In Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas,” the land was thought to be very suitable for farming. Many farmers came to the area and built up millions of acres of “grazing land into marginal farmland.”
