The 1930’s is the time where Great Depression took place. In that time, stock market crashed, unemployment went to the top, banks raced to liquidate loans to cough up cash to sustain bank runs, and many banks closed. It resulted to economic hardship to people in rural and city areas, most especially among agricultural and factory workers. Huge numbers of people lost their jobs, while those who still have jobs face very uncertain future. The Communist Party USA have attractive platforms like more power for workers and for the common man. Therefore, membership of the Communist Party USA swelled to about 55,000 in the 1930s.
