∙ 14y agoThe Dust Bowl became symbolic of the struggles of the American farmer, not just during the Great Depression, but throughout U.S. history. Moreover, it showed the importance of the mid western United States (the Bread Basket) in terms of the U.S. agricultural economy and food production in general. Images from the Dust Bowl, made famous through Dorthea Lange, became symbols of the Great Depression, showing the deprivation faced by the average American during the 1930's.

The Dust Bowl was a 'perfect storm' of problems that struck the American prairie in the 1930s.

Lack of rain turned the soil into dust and the windstorms blew the dust around the flat landscape.
