A) How did increased property foreclosures affect people during the Dust Bowl? (2 points)

Question

1 A growing number of farmers worked together to collectively buy land for planting.
2 Fewer eastern banks bought the notes for farms located in drought-stricken areas.
3 Thousands of tenant farmers and sharecroppers were displaced from their land.
4 Many large financial institutions failed while local banks remained in business.

Answer 1

During the Dust Bowl, increased property foreclosures had a significant impact on people, particularly in rural areas. The correct answer among the options provided is:

3. Thousands of tenant farmers and sharecroppers were displaced from their land.

This option highlights the displacement of vulnerable populations who were unable to maintain their livelihoods due to the economic and environmental challenges exacerbated by the Dust Bowl. As more farmers lost their properties to foreclosure, many tenant farmers and sharecroppers found themselves without land or resources, leading to widespread migration and hardship.
