Alabama In The 1930s [Muhd Farid Azfar 31]
After World War 1, Alabama experienced an economic boom. Alabama needed a lot after the world war 1; resources like coal mine and iron. Alabama started manufacturing.As Alabama's population grew in the 1920s, business and industry attracted the people where labour was cheap. Everything was going well before the great depression. The Great Depression caused agriculture to be depressed;affecting almost all of the population. Industrial economy had begun to drop. Having struggled with sickness, and poverty, Alabama's problems were too much to respond quickly to the help offered by the New Deal.The New Deal programs were designed to "give a hand up, not a hand out".The economic disasters of the 1930s spelled the beginning of the end for farming which had for so long play an important part to the agricultural economy. They also introduced a new radicalism among workers who increasingly looked to labor unions to defend and improve their positions in the industrial economy.
