The left are the causes, the right is why it lasted so long, the stuff Hoover failed to do is top right :smile:

Once you know the main points you just have to adapt it to the question

Do you have ones for the 40 mark depression questions, causes and how Hoover handled it?

Don't forget the urban/rural divide. Many farmers and share croppers felt no benefits from the boom.

Thanks! Do you have any specific details about it?

What are everyones predictions?

- im guessing something on social/political tensions - im leaning towards prohibition/women as KKK and immigration have already been up

- also, im really banking on rural VS. urban

- how effective were the policies of the 1920s?

- mccarthyism maybe

- maybe something on impact of wwi as the chapter has never been up before

Prohibition was on in 2013 and I'm pretty sure something to do with McCarthyism/Communism was on last year too?

The main issue was that during the war, the government subsidised farmers to grow food for the war effort. Agricultural production rates were through the roof, issue was at the wars end the subsidies from the government were repealed, but production didn't fall, leading to a massive surplus in food and a huge drop in prices.

Also, most of rural America had no electricity as it simply wasn't worth electric companies time and money to connect rural areas to the grid. The worst off were the share croppers, who were mostly black. This directly links to the mass internal migration of Black Americans into "ghettos" as they found rural life wasn't profitable and moved into the cities to find new income. In effect the depression hit the rural communities a decade before everyone else.

Tbh once you know the structure you'll be fine as the majority of the marks are for source work just make sure you drop in bits of own knowledge and you can easily get 35+

Can someone sum up the rural vs urban divide?
Is it just KKK, prohibition, women, scopes trial?

It will be either

a) Hoover's response to the depression was effective/ineffective

b) The effects of the depression social/economic

c) The causes of the depression (Asks wether a certain aspect was solely responsible ie: The market crash)

last year it was how republican policies caused the GD but if how hoover handled it comes up, that would be why it lasted so long so it could come up this year as theyre completely different questions

To sum it up.

Rural communities felt no effects from the boom. Agriculture was depressed already, no electricity in many parts, many (Particularly African Americans) move to cities seeking better living standards.

Urban communties felt under threat from such large African American migration into communities, hence why the KKK support spiked.
