In (my part of) the South, Reconstruction lasted from 1865 'til the Second World War; both of my parents said they never knew there was a depression; could tell not any difference in their day-to-day lives. My wife....of 42 years....and I live very middle class lives; with all that entails. Could I give it up? Wouldn't want to, but I could. Until I was 4, we had no electricity, only candles and coal oil lamps. My mother cooked on a wood stove 'til I was 12. Never had running water or indoor plumbing 'til I was 16. When I got married at 21 and moved out, my parents were still heating with wood. We moved into a tenant house and bought the first ever air conditioner any of the family had ever had....a window unit. My wife was working at a bank making $200 a month....gross. I was working for my Dad; pay was 10 acres of cotton and $20 per week....farm hours. I feel that the USA has "topped out" and is on the slippery back slope towards rebellion/revolution; probably not in my lifetime, but it's coming. Not sure who'll rebel first; the free-loaders when the spigot's cut off or the one's paying the bills, when they say, "enough already".
