Americans Face Hard Times;

Unemployment was extremely high! It rise to 25% nation wide. Part time jobs were hard too find too, only 25% would find it.  On March 17, 1931, My two brothers and I was standing in line, waiting for food... which was only bread and soup. The line was super long and the wait took forever and a day, it stretched for many many blocks; which was a big pain. This was the first time I ever stood in this kind of line. Everyone in town had no income and especially no money for food. So the breadlines and soup lines turned into a charity for everyone. Millions lost their homes because of all this commotion, so they were homeless. Hoovervilles was a homeless camp, and I, unfortunately had to witness and lived in that cruel, filthy place. Hoovervilles is named after President Hoover, whom my mother passionately hated. Hoover was an awful President, he lost control of everything in that time. Hoovervilles was all nation wide and most common in California. Foreclosure went big, businesses were going down the drain..
