This sure makes me a thankful person, those people were so resilient. Thank you for posting this!

[@RetoldHistory]

Totally agree, thanks for watching!

The photo of the girl biting her fingernails ( shown briefly) is on the cover of a book " Hard Twisted" which is a very good true story about a young teen, 13 years who was kidnapped by a ruthless criminal during the depression. A cover that has been updated can be found. Thank you for these incredible pictures and the hardship of living in the US during the depression along with the horrible dustbowl of the Midwest. Very good job.❤❤❤

I had no idea about that, but i can see why the author picked that image for his cover, very powerful. Thanks for watching!

Grandmother had six kids and grandfather died in 1932 leaving her to support the kids. . Dad n uncles had fully stocked garage's with food in case it happened again.

If only the current young people could truly grasp the depth of hardships suffered by earlier generations, perhaps they’d be more grateful for the richness we have in this country today. 🙏🏼

Exactly, being poor today and being poor 100 years ago aren't even comparable.

Inflation now is worse than the great depression.

This is a great compilation of images but the music track doesn't quite work with it. If copyright allows, recordings from the Depression era would make it more poignant.

[@RetoldHistory]

Thanks for your suggestion, i will absolutely keep that in mind for future videos!

@@RetoldHistoryMuch of the music is coming up to the 95 year copyright ending. Example: MickeyMouse and Steamboat …once it hit the copyright ending, it is Public Domain!!!

I worked in the fields when I was a teenager there were still white folks working picking strawberries, cutting heads of broccoli, in the Oxnard California area. That's all a by gone era.

Looks a lot like the Great Depression of the 2020-30s, except there will be more color and addiction.

My late mother (1931-2021) grew up during this time. There's an old photo of all the school kids standing out in front of the school (about 1937). My mother is in it wearing a dress she said her mother made from a Hog feed sack, and she is Barefoot at school too. Try sending a kid to school today BAREFOOT!!!! Side Note: For those that don't know, feed companies would use a pretty pattern cloth for animal feed because they knew women would buy it to make clothing. NOTHING went to WAIST. .

Now they would just hold out there hands and expect taxpayers to feed and house them.

Someone on our city council just took a month off because they were misgendered. This is how far we have slipped.....It should wach this video to understand real hardship

Unfortunately, farting out children like there was no tomorrow didn't help, but they had little education about or access to birth control, just another huge part of the problem. How hard it must've been to survive!

[@davidmathis-xd6nf]

The depression caught people unaware. The stock market crash wiped out many middle class families who lost everything. For you to blame the victims of this catastrophe belies an elitist heartless attitude

[@PeterKodaly]

@@davidmathis-xd6nf Rubbish. I *sympathized* with those people for not having sex education or access to birth control, & also how hard it must've been for them to survive. I didn't *blame* them for anything. Try honing your reading skills.
