Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -For many Americans, the 1920s was a decade of poverty. More than 60 per cent of Americans lived just below the poverty line. Generally, groups such as farmers, black Americans, immigrants and the older industries did not enjoy the prosperity of the “Roaring Twenties”.
Detailed explanation-2: -While most Americans enjoyed relative prosperity for most of the 1920s, the Great Depression for the American farmer really began after World War I. Much of the Roaring ‘20s was a continual cycle of debt for the American farmer, stemming from falling farm prices and the need to purchase expensive machinery.
