Go Against Hoover
You think what he is doing is right?
The Veterans of WW1
The man you think that is a great president is actually not a good guy. He actually never paid the Vets for their hard work. He promised them $1.00 for there service in the US, and $1.50 they served during the war. See the men need that money to survive and support their family. What if that was you, striving to support your wife and three children, but you never got paid for almost loosing your life? You would be angry.
The Bonus Army
These men stood outside on the Congress Steps
The Effect
President Hoover sent the actual Army to get rid of The Bonus Army.
- 1,000 soldiers under MacArthur and Eisenhower are called out.
- 1,000 people were gassed
- Two people were shot, one was blinded
- Camp was burned down
Jobs
There was people who were jobless. And Hoover tried but failed helping the people
Hoover was...
Afraid because the country was going down hill. Also terrified because the Bonus Army was at the door steps of the congress building. He even sent a general and his men to get rid of the protesting army. That put a bad image on him.
