The Dust Bowl and The Great Depression

This is a video I made for my AP US History Final that shows what The Great Depression and The Dust Bowl was like. Song is "Shelter" by Sarah McLachlan.

You did a fantastic job on your video. If you don't mind, I'll be using it as background information for my 4th grade students this coming school year.

@aidaluka Not at all! Glad you enjoyed it.

What is "the dust bowl"?

[RuneHQVideos]

@ItalianoConfuso The Dust Bowl or the Dirty Thirties was a period of severe dust storms causing major ecological and agricultural damage to American and Canadian prairie lands from 1930 to 1936 (in some areas until 1940). See Wikipedia for more information.

I'll see if I still have the higher quality version to upload - it has smoother transitions.

History has always been repeated, if we study the current conditions of WALL STREET the question is not when however how soon the STOCK MARKET is gonna crash and when it does the results are going to CATASTROPHIC the past is always here for us to learn from those who had to live in the PAST

Thank you. I will be linking this to my classroom blog to provide context for Of Mice and Men this week.

My Mom & Dad went through the depression. I was born at the end of it. I remember my Dad not letting any of us kid's leave the table till we ate all of what was on out plate. We didn't get new shoe's, my Dad took them to a cobbler and had new sole's sowen on the at 50 cents a pair which wasn't cheap since his hourly wage was 1.00 an hour. Looks like we're getting ready to repete those times.

I never knew I would fall into the same plight as my grandfather. But it seems like we can't avoid another depression.

Engineered depressions are a great way to get cheap labour to fix the infastructure of the country.

I think the 30's was a fascinating period of time. I especially like the men's hats and the fact there are almost no fat people. That's what we need today - hats and no fat people. Oh, and horse drawn carriages. I love horse drawn carriages.
