>>>>>No one really knows how many died between 1929 and 1932, but many did.

Yes we do. It was roughly 1.3 million a year ---- 5.2 million in TOTAL! However, 7-15 million Americans DID NOT die from 1929-1932 because of the Great Depresssion or from Hoover's policies. Stop spreading falsehoods!

Don't count on some internet website to tell you the truth. I suggest you take a class in statistics, along with one in history and one in commonsense. If you had taken the time to look at the link I supplied, cdc.gov, you would have learned something. The level of deaths in America during the Great Depression was consistent with average growth of the US population. There were no significant spikes. There was a total of 15 million deaths overall in the US during the period 1929-1939. That covers almost the entire Great Depression.

When you compare that to the period of the 1918 flu pandemic, you see a siginificant spike in the level of deaths in the US population. The 1918 flu pandemic killed millions world wide and about 500,000 in the US alone.

Facts are our friends, but only if used correctly.
