Dust Bowl Great Depression

The Dust Bowl era marked a devastating chapter in American history, characterized by severe drought and widespread poverty during the Great Depression. As millions lost their farms to dust storms, many migrated to seek better opportunities, often living in makeshift shantytowns known as Hoovervilles. Families faced dire situations, with unemployment rates soaring and soup lines becoming a harsh reality. This period saw approximately 10,000 bank failures, leading to the loss of billions in deposits and leaving over 13 million Americans without jobs.
