Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by stagnation the country run by dear

00:09

it's kind of a mess Turns out dear really aren't

00:11

great leaders stag dish you say's question the pattern depicted

00:16

on the graph best serves as evidence of which of

00:18

the following and hear your potential answers All right right

00:21

here Depression and accidents progressive thinking Well believe it or

00:26

not where people live can say a lot about what's

00:28

going on in a country Well in the first half

00:30

of the twentieth century people were moving around a lot

00:33

right without even uber in particular african americans were hopping

00:37

around different regions like some kind of geographic hot potato

00:40

But what is their pattern of movement servas evidence of

00:44

could it be a the impact of the great depression

00:47

on transnational migration patterns Well the great depression was nearly

00:52

a decade of economic crisis People lost their jobs their

00:55

homes their minds are people went wherever they thought they

01:00

could find jobs and homes So transnational migration was definitely

01:05

a big thing during the great depression But if you

01:07

look at our graph the pattern we're seeing predates the

01:10

great depression and a graph is talking about the african

01:12

american population but everyone was affected by the great depression

01:16

Seriously even the pets were blue so we can say

01:19

goodbye to a could the graph service evidence of see

01:21

the progressive era impact on industry growth Well the progressive

01:26

era was a time when everybody ate a lot of

01:29

suits but the progressive era was a period where a

01:32

lot of people worked hard to get rid of corruption

01:35

in government and monopolies in the market It was time

01:38

of both social and political reform beginning around the eighteen

01:41

nineties and wrapping up in the nineteen twenties again these

01:44

days just don't sit well with our graph While social

01:47

and political reform might have positively impacted industry growth it

01:51

doesn't have much to do with the where african americans

01:53

were living at the times that eliminates see does the

01:56

graph indicate d the stagnation in southern population growth prior

02:01

to world war two Well the great depression which lingered

02:04

until world war two was probably a pretty good reason

02:07

not to start a family Poverty doesn't exactly put people

02:10

in a baby making mood but choice d specifies stagnation

02:14

In southern population growth and our graph isn't telling us

02:18

about southern population growth as a whole it focuses on

02:22

just a snippet of that population meaning we can cross

02:25

off d well that means that the pattern depicted on

02:27

the graph best serves as evidence of beef the mass

02:30

exodus of african americans from the south It seems little

02:34

topsy turvy but in the early nineteen hundreds the south

02:36

was heading north parts of it Any way you can

02:39

see it right on the graph The percentages of african

02:42

americans in the south decreased While there is growth across

02:45

the board in the other regions things in the south

02:47

warrant exactly peachy in the early twentieth century As you

02:50

can imagine the economy wasn't doing so hot segregation was

02:54

in full messed up swing and wages were just not

02:57

as high as they were elsewhere Getting out of there

02:59

was probably worth the hassle of packing So be is

03:03

the right answer now about the progresso era Anybody up 00:03:06.418 --> [endTime] for chicken noodle Uh
