=Reflection= The Dust Bowl affected the southern region of the United States of America.The Dust Bowl in the Great Depression wasn’t just one bad day for Americans it was ten years of misery and hard ships of all American people. The unemployment rate was 25%. Many American that were in the Great Planes had the worst times of their lives. Over 1/2 of the people in the great planes left and gave up there farms. They lived a much harder life. During FDR’s first 100 days in 1933, governmental programs designed to conserve soil and restore the ecological balance of the nation were implemented. Some programs where the Soil Erosion Service in August 1933, lead by Hugh Hammond Bennett. In 1935 it was transferred and reorganized under the Department of Agriculture and renamed the Soil Conservation Service. FDR’s plan to help the soil erosion and poor farming was a good plan and it was lead by a good person. The New Deal Program was focused on the 3 R’s, relief, recovery, and reform. Relief for the unemployed and poor, recovery of the economy to normal levels, and reform of the financial system to prevent a repeat depression.
