A relatively diversified industrial sector featuring textile mills, coal mines, iron and steel furnaces, and timber saw mills produced treasured resources for the needs of World War I and after. As Alabama's population grew in the 1920s, business and industry increasingly were attracted to the state where labor was abundant and cheap. The resulting boom was concentrated in urban areas but much of Alabama shared in the immediate post-war prosperity. Although the Great Crash of the st Read More Go to Site About NDN Volume 1, Number 2 Votes:0 Images of the Depression Era Goals: Informational Content: Students will draw on visual and textual material to learn that during the Depression the occupations and pastimes of young adult Americans varied: Some teenagers attended high school, had hobbies and even drove cars.
