  26. 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.

  32. 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.

  42. PROIBITION The prohibition movement influenced Texas and American politics from the 1840s to the 1930s. In the nineteenth century a movement against alcoholic beverages arose when some Americans, appalled by the social damage and individual wreckage that alcohol consumption too often seemed to cause, sought to persuade citizens to refrain from drinking liquor. This "temperance" movement enjoyed considerable success and continued parallel with the prohibition movement
