Two effects of the Great Depression on Georgians are:
1. Georgia’s economy was suffering so badly that, by 1930, the state government could not pay its own bills. This highlights the severe economic impact of the Great Depression on the state, leading to financial turmoil at the government level.
2. Many rural Georgians were so used to poverty due to the state’s poor economy in the late 1920s that they had hardly noticed the Great Depression. This suggests that the already existing poverty and economic struggles in rural areas of Georgia made the impact of the Great Depression less noticeable or significantly blended with their ongoing hardships.
