Only 4 of the boys new each other before the 🤬 allegation. The trials and repeated retrials of the Scottsboro Boys sparked an international uproar and produced two landmark U.S. Supreme Court verdicts, even as the defendants were forced to spend years battling the courts and enduring the harsh conditions of the Alabama prison system. As news spread of the alleged 🤬, an angry white mob surrounded the jail, leading the local sheriff to call in the Alabama National Guard to prevent a lynching.

Some fun facts of The Depression were that about 15 million Americans were unemployed and more than half of the banks failed.

Many others lost their farms and homes. A lot of people packed up in their cars and went to California where rumors of plentiful jobs were on flyers and spread by mouth. These people were called the "Okies". The economy did start to recover in 1934 and 1935 but it was slow and stalled. Near the end of 1935 into 1937 the process sped up. Then another depression occured. The economy had still not fully recovered when America got dragged into World War II. The entire decade of the 1930's is called the Great Depression because of the agonizingly slow recovery and the many other outside factors.

Farm and Domestic work were not included in the 1935 Social Security Act, which were common areas of employment for a black person at the time. Despite this, Roosevelt had every New Deal agency have a black advisor. In this time the amount of African-American working with the government tripled.

Women were some of the few Americans to actually gain jobs. From 1990 to 1940, the mount of employed women rose 24%.  There was also a 22% decline in marriage rates which led to more single women looking for jobs. The jobs that were available to women paid less but were stable during the Great Depression.

This was because many of these former slaves worked for former slave owners and made very little. The image shown below is a picture of one of the houses that these tenants lived in when sharecropping.

People lost all their money with the bank and went into poverty.

The Great Depression effected the entire world not just America. America was hit the hardest by the economic crash but other nations like Germany, Italy and,Japan felt the hit as well. Italy was the birthplace of fascism and the rise of Nazis in Germany could be attributed to the Great Depression. Military dictatorships rose up in Latin America and in western and European countries like Britain and France governments had to take control over distributing wealth so the poor were less affected.
