=The Great Depression and the New Deal= The Dust Bowl brought ecological, economical and human misery to America. The economical depression double with the drought. There was unusually high temperatures, poor agricultural practices, and the resulting wind erosion. But before the Dust Bowl happened while the Great Depression was happening farmers were not helping out with much. Farmers who were farming began to buy machines to help them plow the lands. With the machines the crops had soon began to be overproduced which led to reduced market prices. The markets were flooded and people were too poor to buy anything. But farmers were unable to earn back their production cost and tried to expand their land in order to try and make a profit. But an unexpected thing happened during all of this. The Dust Bowl happened which blew away the crop and the good farming dirt.

Roosevelt's New Deal was to help people with the Great Depression. The New Deal came up with the "3 R's." The "3 R's" was relief, recovery, and reform. The Relief part was to help people that were jobless. Recovery was to help out with the economy with all of the banking problems and stuff like that. Reform was to help reform the economic system. But the Supreme Court was trying to make the New Deal not part of the constitution.

The new deal gave many people hope and it was effective. The unemployed got jobs and the economy was slowing going back to close to normal. Supporters of the new deal also said that the Roosevelt's approach eased problems. Roosevelt was a persuasive guy and with the help of his programs and people's support the Great Depression ceased.

I went through and found some of the information that I needed for the Dust Bowl. I then went and found some pictures and for some the pictures I went to found more info about something that was in the picture because It looked horrible. The problems for me was that I kept on forgetting how to put the recording into the I movie.
