What are your sources for the claim that 12 million Americans starved during the depression, and why don’t any of our parents remember that?
It’s all over the internet. The mix was around 7 million city folk and 5 million from the country. If I’m wrong I’ll be embarassed but stand corrected.
I must stand corrected, the numbers I used from memory were off, but not enough for a ntion to have forgotten. Wikipedia says 5 million farmers died, but I cannot locate where I got my 7 million city folk number. Other sources list Great Depression starvation deaths in the US as between 5 and 7 million.
