The Dust BOWL
I chose the Dust Bowl for many reasons. I chose this because I found this topic the most interesting. Did you know a nickname for the dust bowl was called the Dirty Thirties. This topic was interesting to me for many reasons. Some reasons are that the Dust Bowl affected many people in the southern states. Many people had to move out to survive the devastating Black Rollers, or the dust clouds.
This topic relates to the Great Depression. It relates to the Great Depression not only physically, but also mentally. Many people had to move away to survive. As did people in the Great Depression did in the cities. Most people lost everything. A lot of them had to start over with their lives. The Dust Bowl was caused by massive erosion from severe drought, and the farmers not having enough money to maintain their fields. The Dust Bowl effected more than 100,000,000 acres of land.
