How Did President Hoover Influence His Work?
Hoover was born January 1, 1895 in Washington, D.C. to a low-level federal administrator. Hoover earned a bachelor and masters degree in law from 1916-1917 at Washington university. He worked at the Department of Justice in alien registration. Hoover got promoted to the head of the General Intelligence Division where he noted radical activities like The Red Scare.
Hoover was now perfect because of the public’s focus on the purposefully exploited Palmer Raids. He scored another promotion with his skills and diligence to assistant director of Bureau of Investigation. When it was renamed to the FBI in 1935 he then became director by Attorney General Harlan Fiske Stone. He kept this position until his death.
Hoover cared a great deal about his work. Every person who had been with the company before had to be interviewed again consequently some were let go because he found them to be not qualified to be a special agent. Aside from physical fitness testing the FBI grew and became an important and basic part of the government. The FBI attacked and stopped crimes such as gangsters and started programs to help the U.S. government. …show more content…

Personal Life
Hoover had two siblings but they both moved out when he was young. the reason he decided to stay was because he was close with his mother. He never married but there are multiple accounts where it has been said that he was a homosexual and that he loved his associate director Clyde Tolson. He died in his sleep in the comfort of his own bed at the age of 77. Not very much is known about him considering the fact that he was very secretive and that if there was anything to be known Hoover himself was the only one to know. Hoover was not a very social or public man; but what he was, was a great and smart
man.
