Video Learning Notes
The oil industry played a key role in Texas's industrialization by creating new jobs and industries beyond farming. However, Texas's economy has experienced boom-and-bust cycles, especially in oil and other industries, causing periods of rapid growth and decline. Understanding these cycles helps explain the economic and social history of Texas and how communities adapted to change.
