Up to this point the President Hoover was not loved by the public; The community of the homeless families are known as Hoovervilles. In addition people are shoved newspapers in their pockets to keep warm and call them as "Hoover blanket". Hoover's attack on the Bonus army didn't help his reputation. The Bonus army was made up of Veterans of World War I the middle-aged are among those most affected by the recession. In 1924, Congress has agreed to pay a veteran compensation can be collected in 1945. When depression becomes worse and more veterans demanded their bonuses early. When Congress refused to pay the money, more than 20,000 veterans founded the Bonus Army and marching on Washington, DC, They established a Hooverville grew in front of the Capitol, determined not to leave until they have been paid. President Hoover responded by ordered General Douglas MacArthur to use force to remove the war veterans from the Capitol. Federal troops used tear gas and fired to destroy the camps temporarily. America's attitude toward Government and its responsibility to the people have changed in a negative way. Hoover lost the 1932 election by a landslide to Franklin Roosevelt.In conclusion, President Hoover was diminished by the collapse of the stock market and does not believe in government assistance during the great depression. In addition, he believes that the American people can pull the country out of the depression, with hard work and self-reliance. When the depression continues to worsen, he intervened with the businesses and approved tariffs vandalism. Although Hoover had good intentions when he created the reconstruction Finance Corporation, it has done little to improve or harm the country's economy. Bonus army situation adds to people's disdain for President Hoover. Hostilities have been proven by the names for Hoovervilles and Hoover blanket. Although Hoover is not the only reason the great depression was so severe, he can certainly do more to help the citizens of America.
