The+South+in+the+1930's

The 1930's, the time period that followed the American Civil war, was constructed of racial injustice and the destruction of innocence, especially in the south. The Great Depression was occurring at the time and both black and white people experienced many hardships. The South already had a low economic status because it had been depending solely on its agricultural power. There were no factory jobs, except in the larger cities of Charleston and Birmingham, so finding a job was almost impossible. Whites called for black to be fired from any jobs when there were whites out of work.
