Rural Iowa felt the impact of financial instability in the 1920s, long before bank failures became common. By the early 1930s, the focus was on struggling farm families trying to hold their land and businesses. During the same period, the nation was adjusting to the dramatic social and political changes ushered in by the suffrage and prohibition amendments. Between banks, bootlegging and banditry, Iowa found itself in the middle of new social debates, political instability and turmoil.
