Examples Of Hoover's Response To The Great Depression

Facing the worst economic depression of their time after being on a high during the majority of the 1920s, and dealing with a President that remained steadfast in his belief of American individualism, arguing that too much interference from the federal government would hurt want essentially separated Americans from citizens of other nations; this belief of Hoover’s, although he actively tried to help with the Depression a few times even though his responses were late, overall led to a lackluster response to the crises experienced by Americans during the Great Depression. Hoover’s failures to properly recognized the growing economic instability, the stemmed from international and domestic problems, which eventually caused the Depression eventually
led to the rise of Franklin D. Roosevelt who would become the 32nd President. While the First and Second New Deals had some failures and successes to them (with some parts either being deemed unconstitutional or that it did little to help women and minorities), overall the New Deal effectively helped to end the worst economic depression in American history and temporarily improved life for all Americans.
