Best Answer

African Americans were affected greatly by the great depression. since African Americans did not have a lot of money to start out with they were hopeless now. There was a struggle to get food on the table. Many white people were getting mad because African Americans were "stealing" their jobs. African Americans were not treated equally for the white man thought that they were dirty and were ruining the white mans opportunities. this was not fair because the African Americans worked hard to get where they were at and their dreams were turning out to be their worst nightmare.

I think that the game of Monopoly was popular during the great depression because in Monopoly, you take chances, just like you do in life, and taking the chance of investing all your money in stock was the risk many Americans took.
