The agricultural economy of the 1920s experienced an ongoing depression. After expanding during the First War to sell food to Europe, there was now an overproduction as many counties returned to grow their own crops.

There was too much food on the market and farmers could not sell their products. The prices of food were falling and many farmers went into debt.

Between 1920 and 1930, <em>one in four farms was sold </em>and many farmers <em>migrated to urban areas.</em> This lead to the spreading of rural poverty ( one-fifth of the American population lived on the land). More than 600,000 farmers went bankrupt. The result of all this was severe agricultural depression with many of the previously prospering farms<em> falling into decay and being sold o</em>r <em>abandoned</em>. Where farming was the main industry, like in the South, the already low wages became even lower and the farmers' situation worsened.

In what ways have the internet and social media provided challenges for the U.S. political process
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Explanation:

The internet and social media provided challenges for the political process by providing something much more entertaining to watch. For example, instead of someone wanting to learn more about a presidential candidate, they would rather watch funny cat videos or see who's about to break a bone by jumping off a 2 story roof. The internet in general is very distracting because it always gets you to click on something, but not just something random, something interesting. It Google, Yahoo, Amazon, etc. have bought and sold cookies to other companies that go through your search history and advertise what you look though or like.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

Dear so and so,

Many colonists and myself are outraged by these new "rules" you have placed upon us. Not only are British troops moving into our homes but they are taxing us on common goods such as imports of paper, paint, lead, glass, and tea. We already are struggling to make money with all of this fighting, and now we cannot return home to a nice cup of tea because it is so expensive. I demand more representation in Parliament for I cannot be the only one who thinks such of your laws.
