Unpopularity of Hoover

Causes

  • Lack of percieved help
  • Bonus Army
  • Public perception

Effects

  • Hoover was a Republican and elected to continue their policies of Laissez Faire and Rugged Individualism. The republican controlled congress would not have allowed more direct action, although Hoover did more than any other president.
  • Hoover decided to use the military against the "bonus army" (war veterans).
  • The public perception of Hoover was that he was cold and uncaring.

Overall summary

The lack of perceived intervention + bonus army lost Hoover the election.
