THE BOOMS AND THE BUST BY, BLAKE WIDENMANN

THE OIL AGE WAS A BIG PART OF ECONOMIC TIMES IN THE 20th century because it helped things like

MORE PEOPLE MOVED TO TEXAS DURING THIS TIME

TRANSPORTATION WAS MUCH EASIER NOW

TEXAS MADE MILLIONS OFF OIL

OIL WAS ALSO A BUST BECAUSE OF THINGS LIKE

TO MAKE THE MACHINES THEY HAD TO CLEAR ACRES OF LAND

THE OIL WOULD POLLUTE THE AIR AND WATER

ANIMALS AND HUMANS WOULD GET SICK AND DIE

I THINK THE GUSHER AGE WAS A BUST BECAUSE THEY POLLUTED THE ENVIRONMENT

OIL BECAME A BIG THING IN TEXAS AND STILL IS TODAY
