The Great Depression of the late 1920s and early 1930s caused a lot of hardships for South Carolinians. A lot of problems befell them at that period such as the low prices of agricultural goods, the high taxes that they had to pay and the collapse of agriculture altogether from crop destruction and mortgage foreclosures on farms.
In response, a lot of people left South Carolina including both white and blacks to seek greener pastures. They did not head to the same place however, with whites heading south and west and the blacks heading North.
