Life in the Great Depression was extremely hard. Many people lost all of their lively-hoods and society (especially men) suffered physiological effects. When they had invested all their money into the stock market their was to fail safe in order to protect the investment in case of a crash. When Black Tuesday came, millions of Americans lost all of their money and soon lost their jobs, and homes, and were not able to provide for their families. Men were mentally effected because society viewed them as the bread-winners, so for them not to be able to provide for their families made it extremely tough on them. The Dust Bowl didn't help either, which cause most of the land that produced the nation's crops, to go bad causing national hunger crisis. It was dark times because people couldn't work, eat, or even meet most basic necessities for their survival. American life was completely devastated.
