UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES

Between the period of the stock market crash in October of 1929 and the inauguration of Franklin Roosevelt there were a number of disturbing events which we have not as yet examined in our newsletters.  The Bonus March, social dislocations as evidenced by migrant labor camps, and transient men living in "Hoovervilles" are just some of these events.  See our blog for a more detailed discussion.  "Migrant Work Camp" (1931).
Communist sympathizers on the march.  As dislocations increased the Communist movement, which had come to power in Russia in 1917, sought to attract the disaffected here in the United States. "Communist Sympathizers March", Detroit (1932).
