After the Civil War... Dust Bowl is 1930s... Civil War is 1865... so unless you meant decades after the Civil War I don't think we're talking about the Dust Bowl. Farmers have it rough in American history... new technology enabled them to harvest crops at a much quicker rate, yet at a quicker rate than consumer demand. Hence, the prices of their goods dropped and they were constantly in a cycle of debt. They continued to borrow money from banks for their farms, and had hardly any money flowing in in profits. Sorry if that made no sense.

Yeah, there was a drought and there was a lot of dust, the dust bowl. They couldn't plant anything because it was so dry.

They had to learn American history without getting strangers on the internet to do their homework for them.

Maybe sons were killed in battle, and they had less help to farm.
