Question

item set- president hoover’s response to the great depression
source 1
herbert hoover,
ugged individualism\ campaign speech, 1928
we were challenged with a peacetime choice between the american system of rugged individualism and a european philosophy of diametrically opposed doctrines—doctrines of paternalism and state socialism. the acceptance of these ideas would have meant the destruction of self - government through centralization of government. it would have meant the undermining of the individual initiative and enterprise through which our people have grown to unparalleled greatness.
our country has become the land of opportunity to those born without inheritance, not merely because of the wealth of its resources and industry but because of this freedom of initiative
part b: using source 2, why were these communities called \hoovervilles\?
a americans wanted to give hoover credit for the nation’s success.
b americans blamed hoover for their housing situation.
c president hoover visited the first hooverville to support its residents.
d hoovervilles were created by a law signed by president hoover

Explanation:

Hoovervilles eran barrios de chabolas durante la Gran Depresión. Los estadounidenses culparon a Hoover por la crisis económica y la situación de vivienda, ya que su política no alivió el desempleo y la pobreza. La opción A es incorrecta (no se daba crédito por éxito). La C es falsa (Hoover no visitó para apoyar). La D es falsa (no hubo ley de Hoover para crear Hoovervilles). La B es correcta al explicar que la población culpó a Hoover por su situación de vivienda.

Answer:

B. Americans blamed Hoover for their housing situation.
