SS8H8-SS8H9 VOCAB UPDATED ACTUAL
Questions and CORRECT Answers
Boll Weevil - CORRECT ANSWER - A small, grayish, long-snouted beetle that laid its
eggs in cotton bolls. The eggs then hatched and the larvae (worm stage) ate the cotton growing in
the boll. When the boll opened out the beetle would fly as a mature boll weevil and nothing
remained of the cotton. It was devastating on cotton production in the South.


1920's Drought - CORRECT ANSWER - A lack of rain in the south during the decade of
the 1920s. This drought was devastating on the South's farmers and when combined with the boll
weevil was the downfall of many southern farmers.


Stock Market - CORRECT ANSWER - The place where shares of ownership in
corporations (stock) are bought and sold. Located in New York, and was the initial site of the
stock market crash, leading to the Great Depression.


Speculation - CORRECT ANSWER - The idea of borrowing money to invest, with the
hope of the investment making enough money to both pay back the original loan and to turn a
large profit. This practice was used in the stock market, leading to the stock market crash and
was also used during the 1990s and 2000s in the housing market, leading in part to the housing
market collapse of 2008.


Laissez-Faire - CORRECT ANSWER - The doctrine that the government should not
interfere in the private sector of the economy.


Great Depression - CORRECT ANSWER - A severe economic downturn that began with
the stock market crash of 1929 and lasted until WW II.
