After a little reading I've discovered a massive change could occur to the USA if the flood of 1927 never happened.
1.) Herbert Hoover is never in the national spotlight in time for the Republican nomination.
2.) Huey Long never has the platform which pushes him into the top of Lousiana politics, making much of the state remain the rural back country it was before the Long governorship.
3.) Hundreds of thousands of black families are not displaced forcing them to go to Northern cities.
4.) Poor treatment of African Americans in refugee camps, and vague promises of racial reforms never occur causing many important African American leaders to stay with the Republican Party during the 30's.
5.) The massive system of levees along the Missippi are never built causing various small towns to never grown during the months when levee workers live near them.
So what kind of world comes from the flood never happening? Then again if I am utterly mistaken on any of these points do correct them.
