Why did California attempt to prevent those affected by the Dust Bowl from entering the state, going as far as passing the Indig

ent Act, which would make it illegal to transport a poor person to the state (later found unconstitutional)?
Because of California's longstanding feud with Oklahoma, dating back to the Civil War.


Because the federal government required states to provide income and work to all residents in need.


California was not able to provide enough resources to accommodate the influx of people entering the state.


Oklahoma had plenty of resources to take care of more than enough families.

The correct answer is "California was not able to provide enough resources to accomodate the influx of people entering the state".

During the 1930, around 400 thousand people from Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and Missouri moved to California looking to settle there. Those states had been suffering massive economic hardships due to a major drought that interrupted the main agricultural activities in the area and left large portions of the population unemployed and at severe risk. The drought also caused serious ecological issues that manifested in dust storms all over the region, which came to be known as the "Dust Bowl".

In the context of the Great Depression, the influx of people migrating to California was simply too much for any state to handle. High unemployment rates, shortage of available work and low wages made any sort of relocation risky at the time. A large portion of families ended up settling in tents or shacks thrown together with scraps as best they could.

To prevent indigents from entering their territory, many states imposed harsh vagrancy laws (such as the Indigent Act) and demanded many years of residence inside the state before being able to apply for public assistance. In fact, until 1941 states kept up the restrictions on interstate mobility.

Hope this helps!

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: Far over the misty mountains cold

To dungeons deep and caverns old

We must away, ere break of day

To seek our pale enchanted gold

The dwarves of yore made mighty spells

While hammers fell like ringing bells

In places deep, where dark things sleep

In hollow halls beneath the fells

For ancient king and elvish lord

There many a gleaming golden hoard

They shaped and wrought, and light they caught

To hide in gems on hilt of sword

On silver necklaces they strung

The flowering stars on crowns they hung

The dragon-fire in twisted wire

They meshed the light of moon and sun

Far over the misty mountains cold

To dungeons deep and caverns old

We must away, ere break of day

To claim our long-forgotten gold

Goblets they carved there for themselves

And harps of gold, where no man delves

There lay they long, and many a song

Was sung unheard by men or elves

The pines were roaring on the heights

The winds was moaning in the night

The fire was red, it flaming spread

The trees like torches blazed with light

The bells were ringing in the dale

And men looked up with faces pale

The dragon's ire, more fierce than fire

Laid low their towers and houses frail

The mountain smoked beneath the moon

The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom

They fled their hall to dying fall

Beneath his feet, beneath the moon

Far over the misty mountains grim

To dungeons deep and caverns dim

We must away, ere break of day

To win our harps and gold from him

Far over the misty mountains cold

To dungeons deep and caverns old

Creating a timeline of the major events of World War II demonstrates which concept or skill associated with historical thinking?
notka56 [123]
The correct answer is D, chronological thinking. This is simply thinking based on the order of events that occur in time.

Historiography is the broader study of writing history, and the other answers are not as relevant to the timeline, in this scenario.
