The Great DepressionThe Great Depression
Causes of the Great Depression
Wealth in the United States was spread out unevenly. A small group of rich people held most of the nation’s wealth.
Most people did not have enough money to buy goods to keep businesses going.
Farmers faced hard times during the 1920s.
Foreign trade slowed in the late 1920s.
Impact of the Great Depression One out of four workers was
unemployed by 1932. President Hoover offered
government loans to help business and agriculture. The loans were not enough to help the economy recover, however.
Depression - a period of low economic activity and high unemployment.

The Great Depression in TexasThe Great Depression in Texas
The Depression was not as severe in Texas as in other parts of the country.◦ Few Texans owned stock. Few lost their savings in the
crash.◦ Texas had little industry. Few Texans lost their jobs when
factories closed.◦ Much of Texas had been rural and poor before the crash.
Many people felt little change in their lives after the crash.
◦ An oil boom in East Texas in 1930 and 1931 helped that part of the state.
About 400,000 Texans were out of work by 1932. Women, African Americans, and Hispanic Americans had the highest unemployment rates.

The Great Depression in TexasThe Great Depression in Texas
Some people turned to crime to solve their problems.◦ Bonnie and Clyde, two of America’s most famous
criminals, came from Texas.Government leaders in Texas took steps to provide relief during the Depression.◦ They created state jobs.◦ They passed a law in 1935 to provide pensions for the
elderly. A pension is a grant of money paid to someone who has retired.
Throughout the 1930s, Texas governors tried a variety of programs designed to boost the economy. None had the power to pull Texas out of the Depression.

Origins of the Dust BowlOrigins of the Dust Bowl
A series of great dust storms blew through the southern plains of Texas in the 1930s. ◦The storms blew away topsoil (erosion).◦Dust filled the skies, making breathing difficult.◦Some storms lasted for more than three days.◦The worst storms could reduce visibility to zero.
These storms were called “black blizzards.”This environmental disaster was known as the Dust Bowl.

Early Relief EffortsEarly Relief Efforts
President Herbert Hoover did not believe that the federal government should give money to people in need. He believed it would cause them to stop looking for work.
Hoover wanted private charities and local government to provide relief to those in need.
The economy worsened and unemployment grew. Private charities ran out of money. Growing numbers of homeless people lived in camps of cardboard shanties. Americans blamed Hoover for the economic ruin, and they called these camps Hoovervilles.
Texans joined the dark joke and nicknamed armadillos Hoover Hogs.

FDR and the New DealFDR and the New Deal
A More Active Government Under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, government took a
more active role in fighting the Depression. Roosevelt temporarily closed the banks to prevent a
collapse of the banking industry. Congress created new rules to make banks more stable. In his radio messages, called Fireside Chats, Roosevelt
encouraged people to have hope.
The New Deal Roosevelt created a government program to reform the
economy. His program was called the New Deal.

Criticism of New Deal PoliciesCriticism of New Deal Policies
During Roosevelt’s second term, many Americans felt that he had grown too powerful.
He alarmed many people when he tried to “pack” the Supreme Court with justices who would support his New Deal programs.
Critics also believed that the government did too much to help the needy. They felt that the federal government had grown too large.
Many Texas critics resented the interference of the federal government in Texas.

The Causes of World War IIThe Causes of World War II
Dictators and Empires: Hitler became dictator of the Nazi Party in Germany. Mussolini created a Fascist Party in Italy. In Japan, military leaders took over the government.These countries sought to gain power by building empires. ◦ Dictator - a ruler who has complete power over a country◦ Fascism - a system in which the government has complete
control◦ Empire - a group of countries under the control of one ruler
The people of the United States supported the policy of isolationism in the 1930s. They wanted to stay out of the affairs of other countries. However, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States was drawn into World War II.

Texas and Texans in the WarTexas and Texans in the War
Texas was the largest training ground for the United States Army. Texas became a military aviation center. More than 750,000 Texans served in World War II, including
12,000 women. More than 23,000 Texans died in the war. The U.S.S. Texas became the only battleship that still survives
today that served in both world wars. More than 30 prisoner-of-war camps in Texas held about 80,000
captured troops. Aliens spent parts of the war years in Texas internment camps.

Hard Times on the Home FrontHard Times on the Home Front
Sacrificing for Victory Rationing made everyday items available in limited
amounts. Texans served in the Red Cross, planted “victory gardens,”
and collected scrap metal to be converted into war materials.
Texans bought war bonds to help the war effort. A bond is a certificate, issued by a corporation or
government, which promises to repay with interest the amount it borrowed from the buyer.
Texan towns set up civil defense units, and coastal cities strengthened their defenses. For a short time, Galveston tried blackouts. During a blackout, a city keeps its lights out at night.

The War’s Political Impact on The War’s Political Impact on TexasTexas
By World War II, the Texas Democratic Party had split into two wings—liberals and conservatives. Conservative Democrats felt the New Deal was too liberal.
During the war, more than half a million Texans moved from rural areas to the cities. In cities, industry was strong and jobs were available.
Texas cities became more diverse during the war. Diversity added to the urban culture. It also led to racial tensions as people from different races competed for jobs and housing.

coastal areas. Businesses provided services
for the military bases in Texas.
Texas industrial plants produced rubber, ammunition, steel, paper, and tin.

recover from the Depression. The Gulf Coast became a
leading petrochemical center.

The War’s Social Impact on TexasThe War’s Social Impact on Texas
Racial Issues During the war, African Americans trained at segregated bases.
After fighting in the war, African Americans still could not vote in primaries. They also received lower pay than white Texans did.
The American G.I. Forum was an organization that fought the unfair treatment that Mexican Americans soldiers and veterans often faced.
Gender Issues To help with the war effort, women worked on farms, on ranches,
and in factories. When the war ended, women lost those jobs to the returning soldiers and other men.
Under Texas law, women could be paid less than men. They could not serve on juries or even buy a car without their husband’s signature.
