|
In a Nutshell
|
Students should understand that Oklahoma, as well as the entire nation, was experiencing the worst financial disaster ever recorded in American history. However, the Midwest was also hit by an environmental disaster that would create dire consequences. Students should analyze how poor farming equipment, overplowing, and various other human mismanagement of land and resources were contributory causes of the Dust Bowl. The migration of Oklahomans for better economic opportunities had a major impact on the state of Oklahoma, changing the national perception of “Okies” that resonates still today. |
