Who were Bonnie and Clyde?

Answer 1

Bonnie and Clyde were notorious outlaws, robbers and murderers.

Bonnie Elizabeth Parker, born in 1910, and Clyde "Champion" Chesnut Barrow, born in 1909, both of Texas, were two notorious robbers who particularly focussed their criminal activity on small businesses and banks in the central United States during the Great Depression.

Clyde already had a background in crime, cracking safes, robbing stores and stealing cars, before he met Bonnie. He was in prison for two years, where he experienced considerable abuse, and some believe that his aim was not to gain fame and fortune from robbing banks, but to seek revenge against the Texas Prison system for what he suffered in jail. However, the public turned against him when when his gang began murdering both innocent civilians and lawmen.

Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed and killed on 23 May 1934, on a deserted road near their hideout in Bienville Parish, Louisiana.

Bonnie Elizabeth Parker and Clyde Chestnut Barrow were American outlaws and robbers from the Dallas area who traveled the central United States with their gang during the Great Depression. They were shot to death by officers in an ambush near Sailes, Bienville Parish, Louisiana on May 23, 1934, after one of the most colorful and spectacular manhunts the nation had seen up to that time.
