How did the great Depression affect California??

Answer 1

California during the Depression was a battleground where socialists, labor activists and free-speech advocates faced often violent resistance from a militant right using vigilante squads, tear gas- wielding police, suppression of civil liberties, and antiunion crackdowns. California suffered the struggles of striking waterfront workers and of thousands of migrant dust-bowl, Mexican and Filipino farmworkers who challenged the agribusiness oligarchy. Socialist novelist Upton Sinclair's 1934 gubernatorial bid on the Democratic ticket, buttressing his End Poverty in California (EPIC) campaign, was defeated by a combination of big money and Hollywood fund-raising. Although California, then a right-of-center Republican state, resisted Roosevelt's New Deal, its migrant camps aided the displaced poor, and an unprecedented public works program revitalized the economy, creating schools, dams, parks, urban improvement projects and the Golden Gate Bridge

California During The Great Depression

Answer 3

There was the Dust Bowl. The MidWest, from Okalahoma to South Dakota suffered from 1930 all the way to like 1936 or 1937 from NO RAIN WHATSOEVER! There would be dust bowls. That means that the soil would all turn into dust. The dust would then be blown around by a STORM THAT DID NOT HAVE ANY Precipitation in it. It was an absolute NIGHTMARE for farmers.
