USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Farmers were the most affected people in the dust bowl because their land got destroyed. Also they were in a serious amount of debt because that had to buy more land and expensive machinery. The crops they put in there land got more experience over the years so that meant the debt got worst.

Detailed explanation-2: -The areas most affected were the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma, northeastern New Mexico, southeastern Colorado, and southwestern Kansas. The Dust Bowl was to last for nearly a decade [1]. After WWl, a recession led to a drop in the price of crops.

Detailed explanation-3: -From 1935 to 1940, roughly 250, 000 Oklahoma migrants moved to California. A third settled in the state’s agriculturally rich San Joaquin Valley. These Dust Bowl refugees were called “Okies.” Okies faced discrimination, menial labor and pitiable wages upon reaching California.

Detailed explanation-4: -The agricultural land that was worst affected by the Dust Bowl was 16 million acres (6.5 million hectares) of land by the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles.

Detailed explanation-5: -As a result, dust storms raged nearly everywhere, but the most severely affected areas were in the Oklahoma (Cimarron, Texas, and Beaver counties) and Texas panhandles, western Kansas, and eastern Colorado and northeastern New Mexico.
