Monday
1920s Unit Test

Tuesday-Wednesday
Map and Geography

What leads to it?
Farming: higher yields are not matched by higher demand

• technological improvements increased costs of farming
• WWI had encouraged a boom in production, not sustainable without war

Andrew Mellon's Policies

• hired by Hoover, Mellon believed that government should run like a business
• his goals in 1921 was to; balance the budget, reduce gov't debt, and cut taxes
• argued that lower taxes allowed money to flow more freely and allowed the gov't to collect more taxes (AV 457)
• taxes were reduced from 4% federal income tax to .5% for the average American; the wealthiest paid a high of 73% and a low of 25%
• Mellon's policies would ultimately contribute to the stock market crash of 1929

Herbert Hoover is elected president in 1928

• supported Prohibition
• former head of Food Admin. during WWI and Secretary of Commerce
• a Quaker; a Republican
  
• landslide victory

Stock Market

• a system of buying and selling companies
• rising stock prices is known as a bull market
• margin is when the investor pays a low down payment (takes a loan from stockbroker)
• only safe in a bull market
• brokers could issue a margin call to demand repayment; hence, if prices fell, investors would sell quickly to be able to repay loans
• pricing became 'sketchy' as a stocks true value was inflated by investor's bids; some tried to make a fortune overnight and engaged in speculation
• Great Crash led to nationwide bank failures: people sold of their holding quickly, prices slipped, causing more to sell and so forth.
• October 29th, Black Tuesday: prices took their steepest dive yet. Crash undermined America's ability to hold it together while other weaknesses became apparent
• banks had loaned money to stock speculators; invested depositor's money in stock; banks lost a lot and thus cut back on loans (AV 472)

Worksheet: Causes of the Great Depression

Thursday & Friday
HW due Friday: click on Dorothea Lange picture. Choose a picture and complete a visual analysis interpretation. Do not do "Migrant Mother."
Science behind the "dust bowl"
DUSTBOWL

• In the Great Plains farmers had plowed lands, uprooted wild grasses, and planted wheat instead.
  
• fall of prices in 1920's left fields uncultivated, drought exacerbates: no rainfall, no roots= soil dries to dust
• 1932: drought sweeps the land
  
• winds whip up dust and bury crops, livestock, and farmhouses
• 1934: dust storm destroys 300 acres
  
• dust storms grow: 22'' in 1934 and 72'' in 1937
  
• "withered fields" were mortgaged, turned over to banks. Penniless families head west
• many from Oklahoma- known as "okies" (derogatory)
  
• idealized California as a kind of Eden on earth
• disappointed; a lot of competition from jobs
• homeless and impoverished families lived in Hoovervilles (shacks on unused land)
