History: The Great Depression and World War II<span><span>One of the hardest hit segments of the New Mexico economy during the depression was farming. In 1931, the state’s most important crops were worth only about half of their 1929 value. Dry farmers were especially devastated as they suffered from both continually high operating costs and a prolonged drought that dried up portions of New Mexico so badly that they became part of the Dust Bowl. From Oklahoma to eastern New Mexico, winds picked up the dry topsoil, forming great clouds of dust so thick that it filled the air. On May 28, 1937, one dust cloud, or “black roller,” measuring fifteen hundred feet high and a mile across, descended upon the farming and ranching community of Clayton, New Mexico. The dust blew for hours and was so thick that electric lights could not be seen across the street. Everywhere they hit, the dust storms killed livestock and destroyed crops. In the Estancia Valley entire crops of pinto beans were killed, and that once productive area was transformed into what author John L. Sinclair has called “the valley of broken hearts.”
In all parts of New Mexico, farmland dropped in value until it bottomed out at an average of $4.95 an acre, the lowest value per acre of land in the United States. Many New Mexico farmers had few or no crops to sell and eventually, they were forced to sell their land contributing in the process to the overall decline in farmland values.</span>The depression also hurt New Mexico’s cattle ranchers, for they suffered from both drought and a shrinking marketplace. As grasslands dried up, they raised fewer cattle; and as the demand for beef declined, so did the value of the cattle on New Mexico’s rangelands. Like the farmers, many ranchers fell behind in their taxes and were forced to sell their land, which was bought by large ranchers.<span>Agriculture’s ailing economic condition had a particularly harsh effect on New Mexico, for the state was still primarily rural during the 1930’s, with most of its people employed in raising crops and livestock. Yet farmers and ranchers were not the only ones to appear on the list of those devastated by depressed economic conditions. Indeed, high on the list were the miners, who watched their industry continue the downward slide that had begun in the 1920’s. </span></span>
Walter George and Eugene Talmadge were against Franklin Roosevelt's policies regarding new deal and by his reforms in general, and since they were influential in the congress they could pose a problem. He supported Lawrence Camp because Camp was a trusted man and would support FDR's policies and FDR could help elect him through his presidential influence.
<h3>The main reason that Wilson's dream of a "peace without victory" failed at the end of World War I was because "d. France and England wanted to punish Germany for starting the war," since this led to harsh reparation payments that quickly crippled the Germany economy even further. </h3>
George Washington, the then lieutenant colonel in Virginia, began the construction of a makeshift Fort Necessity.
The necessity for constructing a makeshift emerged as a result of the murder of Joseph Coulon de Jumonville, a French military officer, in the custody of Washington.
The French soldiers under the command of Jumonville’s half-brother forced Washington to confess for the murder of Jumonville and surrender.
I don't have an exact answer but here is what I think: Considering how many different people there were, who established each colonies, (The Duke of York establishes New York, Pennsylvania is established by William Penn, etc.) Can you imagine how long it must of taken to find, all these different colonies, without it already being a colonized place? Considering everything was still new to these 'explorers' It takes a long time to establish something like colonies. Some of them were just founded, then established too.
