1930’s mid western America
During the 1930s America was suffering from a great depression.
A lot of people were very poor and had to survive from doing manual labour
Racism is seen as a normal way of life and were not challenged as they are now a days
The untied states were also suffering from a high rate of unemployment
Disabilities were not recognised properly most people with a mental or physical disability were seen as outsides some even considered them to be un holy and there disability was a punishment by god.
In mid western America there was a lot of people being migrant farmer. They would travel around and doing odd jobs for farmers.
The dream for most of these migrant farmer was to get there own spot of land were they could farm sadly this was a un realist dream and was rarely accomplished.
Work cards were used to get employment rates up were they would give people cards with a place to go and get work and then they would have to go there
Most women wanted to go to Hollywood and live a more glamouse life like seen in books but like the dream of the migrant workers it was also unlikely and relay accomplished
There was a large culture of drinking, gambling and prostitutes
This is were most of the money that the migrant farmers earn was spent on this culture
Most farm work was don’t by men or by animals although there was some farming machinery only small parts of the work was done by machine as the farmer may not have the money or the access to a lot of the machines
Sexism was very common and there was a lot of problems with that during this time.
Unemployment was very low and most jobs in the mid west were manual
A series of droughts around this time meant that food was even harder to get and there was even less work for manual farmers due to the lack of crop to collect
Most migrant workers travled alone few stayed with family or settled down and got marrid this was part of ther reason many wanted a pise of there own land to settle down on
