Anyone born and raised in SC(or any Southern state) that has a good grasp of the South about the time of the Depression? (credit)

I am from SC.

I have a thread that was originally titled.

America's First "Greatest" Generation"?



Later I retitled and reposted the thread to be less confusing.

I may be biased lol but I think someone from the South would get the point of the thread and I could use some assistance with some posts on either thread explaining what I was try into get across.

Also if you were born in the South you might think this post needs an answer. Its post number 11 from the first thread. An honest opinion but very harsh if you ask me . Here it is but you need to read some of the thread to get the full context.



(OP, The generation you are talking about is quite small when you subtract the immigrants. They did not really do much in the way of changing our lives. They took care of themselves but that was about it. They did not start the major industries, that was the generation before them. They did not save the world, that was the generation after them. I really don't see where they did much of anything outside of their small circle of family.

I will always give credit to The Greatest Generation. When you compare the world they were born in to the world that they died in there is no comparison to any other generation.)




I find what I have in bold in that post laughable but read the thread (its not too long ) to understand the context.

Thank you

I can't imagine the depression would have effected SC much, the dust bowl was nowhere near here and there was almost no industry at all at that point in time beyond some textile stuff, if that.

I keep on messing up and not explaining myself well but here is the point of the threads I listed above those being

America's First "Greatest" Generation"?

Is the pre World War 2 Generation underappreciated?

The threads are not about the WW2 Generation. They are about their parents and their largely forgotten efforts to keep the country going through hard times and how they passed the best of their qualities onto their children who fought WW2.

If you read those 2 threads please by all means post on them. They would be greatly appreciated.

Also it might be confusing but this post in bold was not written by me and is post number 11 in response to my thread America's First "Greatest" and my response to it was post number 15 in that thread. This is post number 11
