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.

What is the difference between Jefferson's and Henry's evidence of reaction to the colonists' petitions--What rhetorical appeal(
maks197457 [2]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can comment on the following things.

The difference between Jefferson's and Henry's evidence of reaction to the colonists' petitions was that Thomas Jefferson decided to draft part of the "Olive Branch Petition" of July 1775, in which American Colonists asked for the support of English King George III to help the colonists and their conditions.

Jefferson's language in the petition was deemed a little bit aggressive, and the draft was edited by John Dickinson, from Pennsylvania.

In the case of Patrick Henry, he was direct and became so famous by his quote of "Gimme liberty or gimme death!"

In both cases, the rhetorical appeal of these speeches relied on Pathos, the rhetorical device that appeals to emotion to convince the audience.
