USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The country’s most vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly, and those subject to discrimination, like African Americans, were the hardest hit. Most white Americans felt entitled to what few jobs were available, leaving African Americans unable to find work, even in the jobs once considered their domain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Agricultural regions and communities were worst affected due to the fall of agricultural prices and ruin of urban centres. Unemployment created further poverty in the society and people were living in destitute conditions.

Detailed explanation-3: -As difficult as the economic crisis of the Great Depression was for white Americans, it was even harder on racial minorities, including black Americans, Mexican Americans, American Indians, and Asian Americans.

Detailed explanation-4: -As stocks continued to fall during the early 1930s, businesses failed, and unemployment rose dramatically. By 1932, one of every four workers was unemployed. Banks failed and life savings were lost, leaving many Americans destitute. With no job and no savings, thousands of Americans lost their homes.
