The settlers moved into the grassland and started planting wheat crops. Incredible, huge quantities of wheat crops where the grassland had been. American settlers cleared out all the grassland.
Eventually, they discovered the grass was what had been holding down the dirt. Without the grass, the dirt dried up, the wheat stopped growing, and the Great American Dustbowl began.

The dustbowl coincided with the stock market crash. The death of the economy and the death of the farmer produced the Great Depression.
The grassland was called the breadbasket of the world because of propaganda.
