●The Bonus Army was a group of World War One veterans and their families who marched on Washington D.C. in 1932 to demand the immediate payment of bonus they had been promised for military service
Main Ideas:
1) I think that what happened to the farmers foreshadowed the Great Depression. I think this because without crops they won’t make a living and they will be poor, and if they cant sell their crops and stores cant buy them they will go poor also. So it was like one big chain.
2) Some of the effects were people were poor. They had no money to buy food or clothes. Also many people died of starvation.
4) The American people felt that the stock market crash was the minority’s fault. So they discriminated against them even more.
5) The American families had a lot of pressure during the Great Depression. They had pressure to find a job and food for their children and themselves. They had pressure to pay off landlords so they can have a roof over their head.
7) He tried telling people that everything was going to be back to normal soon. He told them everything was going to be alright
