Georgia Performance Standard SS8H8

 

The student will analyze the important events that occurred after
World War I and their impact on Georgia.

a. Describe the impact of the boll weevil and drought on Georgia.

b. Explain economic factors that resulted in the Great Depression.

c. Discuss the impact of the political career of Eugene Talmadge.

d. Discuss the effect of the New Deal in terms of the impact of the Civilian Conservation Corps, Agricultural Adjustment Act, rural electrification, and Social Security.

 

Note: Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal is covered in this standard. Other aspects of FDR -- especially his ties to Georgia -- are covered in GPS standard SS8H9. Thus, FDR images are found in both standards SS8H8 and SS8H9.
