Why is it sometimes said that some rural Georgians never realized there was a Great Depression that occurred during the late 1920s and 1930s?
A. Most farmers were self-reliant and did not need cash
B. The Great Depression had little impact upon the state
Many citizens had been struggling economically for years following devastation to the state's crops due to the boll weevil and drought
D. Agricultural areas continued to prosper through the depression
C. Many citizens had been struggling economically for years following devastation to the state's crops due to the boll weevil and drought
This answer is correct because many rural Georgians were already experiencing economic hardships due to previous agricultural challenges, so the effects of the Great Depression may not have seemed as severe or noticeable to them.
