The agricultural industry started the decline in economy.

The boll weevil (an insect the ate the cotton crop) and many droughts caused a decline of cotton production. With the decrease in cotton, the textiles produced cotton-made fabrics. This meant that not as many people were needed, so the unemployment rate went up.
