The dust bowl

     These people went through a hard time. The struggled. Daily the were worried about what there going to be   doing the next day. The lived there lives day by day. Un sure of what they are going to do next. The were all very Un sure of there future. The lives change dramatically. They had to move away from their comfort zone, The had to adapt to a new life style. The were forced to leave there homes. Just because of the drought. There were no longer crops so they were forced to move. There lives changed by them having to move. There were forced to move. They had no other option.

            I do believe that it all could happen again. We’re kind in drought now. If it all of a sudden decides not to rain then it will be a drought all over. Farmers will again be forced to move. To be put out of there home’s once more. It could all very easily happen again. If we are in drought now, any little thing could make it worse. Especially since now here in America we have a lot of migrant workers. So we really cant afforded any more.

The Living History Website said, "California – the state that had once advertised for more migrant workers – found themselves overwhelmed by up to 7,000 new migrants a month, more migrants than they needed. So for several months in 1936, the Los Angeles Police Department sent 136 deputies to the state lines to turn back migrants who didn't have any money. Bordering states like Arizona were angry that California was trying to "dump hoboes" back on them. Eventually, the police were returned to Los Angeles, but the migrants kept coming" (The Living History Farm)
