Say No To Hoover
By: Malayna Bryan
Time to reelect
Hoover walks around all day not worrying about anything while we the people are starving and living in Shantytowns. He says that he is Reassuring but he isn't quite enough. He says he is just being cautious but the the truth is he doesn't want to help us. He won't give us Direct Relief and he says he thinks Government should intervene but i don't see any government official down here helping out anyone. So its time to knock Hoover off his pedestal and get a new president because this one isn't working out. So be ANTI HOOVER!
A Shantytown
People get evicted from their homes and take little with them and build homes like these on the outskirts of the city. These towns are known as Shantytowns.
The Bonus Army
Army vets were promised a bonus in 1945 but they needed it now because of the rough times and they asked for a $500 bonus now to support them through this rough time. They had their own little shantytown in protest and then Hoover sent a military force in there to burn it down and many were hurt. Plus no bonus.
Farmer Rebellion
Farmers are getting so desperate they literally have to burn their own crops and pour out the milk in truck for they can create a food shortage to be able to earn money for their families.
Let Hoover Be No More
I am pretty sure i proven to you that there should be no more Hoover in office because even though the entire Depression isn't his fault it is his fault for not doing anything. After all people have resulted into becoming hobos. The new military must fight against our veterans. And farmers can't even have a little food now and pay for it later. What is the world coming to it is time for reelection and don't be the person who votes for Hoover because we need a man of action not one who believes survival of the fittest is best.
Stock Market Crash
The beginning of The Great Depression was because the Stock Market Crashed. Leaving people out of their entire life savings. Banks started shutting down one after another because the banks went broke because of all the people trying to get their money back. Then when banks closed so did their accounts along with the money in those accounts. Leaving millions of dollars gone and millions of people getting kicked out of their houses. Farmers were already having a hard enough time at it is without losing what money they had left.
