What was the name for people who decided not to settle in one place but instead traveled along rail lines during the Depression?

a) the homeless

b) wanderers

c) hoboes

d) Hoovervilles

The correct option is C

A vagabond - hoboe is a migrant worker or vagabond, especially one who is impoverished. The term originated in the Northwest of the United States around 1890. It is not clear exactly when the hobos appeared on the American railroad scene. With the end of the American Civil War in the 1860s, many discharged veterans returning to their homes began to board freight trains. Others seeking work on the US border followed the western railways aboard freight trains in the late nineteenth century.
