1.women suffrage
Delete2. Ever since Texas Constitution of 1876, women weren't allowed to vote. So the women took matters into their own hands thinking that they'll have the right vote one way or another they made a group called Texas Equal Suffrage Association where they issued the women rights to the state legislature. Women were finally granted their right to vote in the Nineteenth Amendment in 1919.

The Great Depression was caused by inflation of the U.S. dollar and the fact that we had too many goods and not enough consumers. It was also because of the stock market crash. First, the U.S. government had printed too many copies of the dollar bill and so the amount of the dollar was greatly decreased. Also, too many goods were being made and there was many goods that none were in demand so nobody was making any money causing businesses to close down. Then, the stock market crashed and the banks had no money so they were forced to use peoples money that were in the bank for savings. The Great Depression ended when the U.S. joined World War II and everything was high in demand again.

The Dust Bowl was a horrible drought that was during the Great Depression. It was in the Midwestern part of the US. The states that were most effective by the Dust Bowl were Nebraska, Texas, South Dakota, and Oklahoma. Farmers and Ranchers in the Dust Bowl were the ones that took the hardest hit in this horrible time. Due to the horrible conditions in the Midwestern states the families that were most effected had to relocate to other states that were not effected by the Dust Bowl.

3.I belive this goes with our lesson because it oversees the elections that were happening at the time.
Starting in 1910, some states in the West began to give women the right to vote to for the first time in almost 20 years. States like Idaho and Utah gave women the right to vote at the end of the 19th century. The more established Southern and Eastern states didn't want to get involved.

PROIBITION The prohibition movement influenced Texas and American politics from the 1840s to the 1930s.

This "temperance" movement enjoyed considerable success and continued parallel with the prohibition movement
