Question 20 • United States History and Geography

What did farmers and homeowners have in common during the Great Depression?

Answer
A
Many migrated west to California.
B
Many migrated west to Oklahoma.
C
Many lived in shantytowns called Hoovervilles.
D
Many could not pay what they owed to banks.

Explanation

Both farmers and homeowners often struggled to repay loans during the Great Depression. Farmers faced falling crop prices and lost income, while homeowners lost jobs or wages and fell behind on mortgages. Therefore, many in both groups could not pay what they owed to banks. Hoovervilles were associated with people made homeless, but they were not a shared experience of farmers and homeowners as groups.
