1.People were hesitant to buy on credit.
2.South Carolina had few factories to provide manufactured items.
3.The state’s poor transportation system made it difficult to obtain consumer goods.
4.South Carolinians were mostly farmers who earned less money due to a decline in farm prices.
5. South Carolina suffered disproportionately from the effects of the Great Depression, with its agricultural and textile industries hit particularly hard.
6. The state's reliance on agriculture and textiles meant it was more vulnerable to fluctuations in commodity prices.
7. Limited access to technology and modern farming techniques limited productivity and profitability in agriculture.
8. The lack of diversification in the state's economy made it more susceptible to economic downturns.
