Freedom From Fear

 By 1920, for the first time in the

nation’s history, a majority of Americans were city dwellers. In the fol-

lowing decade, some six million more American farmers quit the land

and moved to the city.

Yet the urbanization of early twentieth-century America can be ex-

aggerated. More than one in five working Americans still toiled on the

land in the 1920s. Forty-four percent of the population was still counted

as rural in 1930. Well over half the states of the Union remained pre-

ponderantly rural in population, economy, political representation, and

ways of life.

In many respects, those country ways of life remained untouched by

modernity. The fitty million Americans who dwelt in what F. Scott Fitz-

gerald called “that vast obscurity beyond the city” still moved between

birth and death to the ancient rhythms of sun and season. More than

forty-five million of them had no indoor plumbing in 1930, and almost

none had electricity. p. 16 Kennedy

After the armistice of November 1918, however, world agricultural

production returned to its familiar prewar patterns. American farmers

found themselves with huge surpluses on their hands. Prices plum-

meted. Cotton slumped from a wartime high of thirty-five cents per

pound to sixteen cents in 1920. Corn sank from $1.50 per bushel to

fifty-two cents. Wool slid from nearly sixty cents per pound to less than

twenty cents. Although prices improved somewhat after 1921, they did

not fully recover until war resumed in 1939. Farmers suffocated under

their own mountainous surpluses and under the weight of the debts

they had assumed to expand and to mechanize. Foreclosures increased,

and more and more freeholders became tenants. ‘The depopulation of

the countryside proceeded ever more rapidly.

Corfield v. Coryell

First. That the act of the legislature of New Jersey of the 9th of June 1820, under which this vessel, found engaged in taking oysters in Maurice river cove by means of dredges, was seized, condemned, and sold, is repugnant to the constitution of the United States in the following particulars: 1. To the eighth section of the first article, which grants to congress the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes. 2. To the second section of the fourth article, which declares, that the citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states. 3. To the second section of the third article, which declares, that the judicial power of the United States should extend to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction.
