New Deal
During the 1930's the United States was going through the worst economic failure in the history of the country. There were millions of Americans unemployed trying to survive through the rough times. During the early years of the depression president Herbert Hoover, didn't do much when it came to improve the economy and ensure the people that they were going to be able to get through the depression. But in 1932 Franklin Rosevelt was elected as the President of the United States. Franklin's main goal was to improve the economy and ensure the people that everything will be okay. President Franklin's first months in office are better known as "The First Hundred Days". During the hundred days, the President and Congress passed 15 major laws, in efforts to help the struggling Americans get back on their feet. All through the New Deal didn't ultimately end the depression it did give hope to millions of Americans that they'll be able to get through the Depression.

I think that a lot of people blame the Great Depression on president Hoover simply because it was the easy thing to do at the time, but in reality I think that the reason for the Great Depression was beyond just one person. You did a good job at pointing out why other people believe he was not very good at helping the country get out of the depression, and I think that's why people would call shanty towns "Hoovervilles" because he was part of the blame for America not being very wealthy.
