    The Great Depression took place in the US in early 1930's (after Black Tuesday). During that period people were unable to buy enough food. Breadlines and soap kitchens were established as charitable organizations giving free bread and soap. Shuntytowns were little towns made up of tents and small shacks put by homeless people as a shelter. They were also called Hoovervilles, because of President Herbert Hoover's involvement in the Great Depression.
