Based on the options provided, the correct answer is:
A. Many rural Georgians were so used to poverty due to the state's poor economy in the late 1920s that they hardly noticed the Great Depression
C. Georgia's economy was suffering so badly that, by 1930, the state government could not pay its own bills
Explanation:
To determine the effects of the Great Depression on Georgians, we would need to assess the impact it had on the state and its citizens.
Option A is correct because the poor economy in Georgia prior to the Great Depression had already resulted in significant poverty for many rural Georgians. As a result, the effects of the Great Depression may have been less noticeable for them.
Option B is incorrect because Georgia, like most states, was interdependent on the rest of the nation. The Great Depression impacted the entire country, including Georgia.
Option C is correct because the severe economic decline caused by the Great Depression in Georgia led to the state government being unable to pay its own bills by 1930.
Option D is incorrect because the Great Depression resulted in widespread unemployment, affecting all races and minorities, including African Americans and other minorities. It was not easier for them to find work than it was for white males during this time.
