Back Then....what did people freak out about?

Let's see.....starvation when the crops didn't fill out, their homes being demolished in storms and twisters, feeding umpteen mouths as it was common to have as many kids as possible because larger numbers increased the chance of survival of the line, and getting ill and not being able to receive medical care and, thus, dying. Well, that's a start. Depending on the area, they also had animal concerns, like snakes, alligators, wolves, and bears.

There's always been something to be freaked out about.
