What Happened Because of the Great Depression

People thought that all of their lives were over so some people committed suicide and others tried to live through it. But not everybody could live though the conditions. And America had to make a whole new country because of the Great Depression. And they also started to live in these "towns" called Hoovervilles.

Supply And Demand

Supply and Demand was when the higher the supply, the less the value would be and the lower the supply, the higher the price would be. This is so that jobs could get more money.

What Caused the Dust Bowl

The dust bowl was caused from severe dust storms that destroyed the economy including agriculture and factories. And it made a lot of people poor.
