There are a lot of variables to consider such as: * If you were a wealthy white Alabaman with good social connections and part of the landed gentry with a diversified conservative portfolio and not involved with margin accounts you would have survived the Stock Market Crash, purchased choice property from distressed landowners for pennies on the dollar and you would have prosperred and multiplied your already substantial position. * Wealthy whites that lacked the correct connections and were overextended in the margin market took what they could for their homes, farms and forever abandoned the south with what they could salvage. * White Industrial workers were at the mercy of their employers and suffered. * White subsistence farmers with a clear title suffered, survived and sometimes prospered. Black subsistence farmers rarely survived with their farms intact and none were known to have prospered, all suffered and most were driven back into a worse poverty then slavery, * Poor whites suffered but they were always proud that they were better off then the poor blacks whose suffering was even greater since they could not even join the Okie exodus.
