Everyone who lived through the Great Depression in Pennsylvania has a story to tell. Local residents recall the optimism, pride, and camaraderie that emerged in spite of the struggles during this difficult period in history.
This video is 12 years old but people today really need to see it; if things don’t change 2022 is going to be 1930 all over again...Lord help us all...
My grandmother lived on a farm.She raised two children. My mother and uncle. She told me stories. The depression really effected her.She could pinch a penny.She never wasted anything! She was obsessive in alot of ways. I think it was because of what she went thru. She had huge gardens and fruit trees.Her kitchen besides having a gas stove also had a large white enamal and iron stove.Which she used more than her modern gas range! I remember Sunday mornings how she would load it with kindling and make a huge batch of home made rolls.I can still smell the aroma of it wafting thru the house.When she fixed Sunday dinner it wasn't just one course.Her table looked like a buffet in a restaurant. She had a separate area called a pantry where she kept goodies like pies,candy and cake.Besides homemade lemonaid she made a drink called sassafras tea. Those were some good memories.
These people make it sound like the Great Depression wasn't that bad.... my parents went thru the Great Depression and they told me how horrible it was.
Not to mention, that average people nowdays are accustomed to extremely high living standards as to opposite average guy in 1920s. That drop would be awful which would lead to violence.
My grandmother had a farm and she grew everything her sister was dating the banker and he came told them the night before the stock market for them to get their money cause the bank was going under grandpa did and was going to bury it but everytime he tried some one came up so they took the money and bought staples
I am 93 years old I remember a Little about the depression but not To much. What America needs is Put there ryes on JESUS not on men JESUS will heal our land if we repent And turn from our wicked ways people Think more on how to make money The love of money is the root of all Evil . The more they have the more They want .Thank JESUS for what You have. I do that every day thank You JESUS for what you have done in Our lives especially for our salvation Eternal life PRAISE YOU JESUS LOVE YOU Viola Aragon
So for thirty seconds halfway through the video, there's suddenly 2 non-white, non-male people talking and I'm like YAY! Finally! and then back with only white males. Come on.
Please leave skin color out of this. The depression of 1929 affected every one. We all know this in 2023'. The government wants us devided, stop helping them.
