the necessity of escaping financial problems
Many Great Plains farmers (often called "Okies") left in the 1930s because the Dust Bowl drought and the Great Depression ruined crops and incomes, causing foreclosures and forcing families to seek work elsewhere (not because of free land or free trips).
