The Great Deppression- FDR and The New Deal

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd president. He was the only president that had a physical disability. He almost died of polio but survived it. When FDR became president he carefully picked advisors that composed of proffesors, lawyers and journalists and were called the Brain Trust, and were important because they helped make the new deal. The new deal was designed to alleviate problems of the great depression. Roosevelt's new deal atempted to address the three goals that were relief for the needy, economic recovery, and financial reform. President Roosevelet's first action taken was that he closed all banks. Congress passed the emergency banking relief act,which would allow inspectors to see if banks would be able to pay so they could stay open, and if  banks were insolvent then they would remain closed.

The Great Depression- President Hoover's handling of the crisis

Herbert Hoover, a Republican president at the beginnnig of the Great Depression, was ineffective in his response because, he upset Americans. Americans got angry at the things Herbert Hoover was doing, so with their anger and frustrations burned their crops and dumped their milk on highways, blocked shipments of food to markets, and even decided to take a day off of work. Americans got angier because he refused to support direct relief or other types of federal welfare. Veterans from World War I were also affected because they wanted to get paid their bonus money that moment, and not wait for years to get it. They were the bonus army which consisted of them and their families. President Herbert Hoover didn't like that idea. Instead, he responded by tear gassing them and that made a negative effect on him.
