b. the great depression affected urban areas not rural areas

c. many rural Georgians were farmers and had struggled economically for years
Many rural Georgians were already experiencing economic hardship due to the decline in agricultural prices and the effects of the boll weevil infestation. Therefore, they may not have noticed a significant difference during the Great Depression. Additionally, the lack of access to national news and the isolated nature of rural communities may have contributed to their lack of awareness of the severity of the economic crisis.
