Events and Accomplishments of Herbert Hoover’s Presidency:

In 1930, the Hawley-Smoot Teriff was enacted to help protect farmers and others from foreing competition!. Unfortunately, other nations also enacted tariffs which meant that trade around the world slowed down!.
On Black Thursday, October 24, 1929, stock prices began falling heavily!. Then on October 29, 1929, the stock market crashed even further which began the Great Depression!. Because of massive speculation including many individuals borrowing money to purchase stocks thousands of people lost everything with the stock market crash!. However, the Great Depression was a worldwide event!. During the Depression, unemployment rose to 25%!. Further around 25% of all banks failed!. Hoover did not see the enormity of the problem soon enough!. He did not enact programs to help the unemployed but instead put some measures in place to help businesses!.

In May 1932, approximately 15,000 veterans marched on Washington to demand immediate payment of bonus insurance money that had been awarded in 1924!. This was known as the Bonus March!. When Congress did not answer their demands, many of the marchers stayed and lived in shantytowns!. Hoover sent General Douglas MacArthur in to move the veterans out!. They used tear gas and tanks to make them leave and set fire to their tents and shacks!.

The Twentieth Amendment was passed during Hoover's time in office!. This was called the 'lame-duck amendment' because it decreased the time when an outgoing president would be in office after the November election!. It moved the date of inauguration up from March 4th to January 20th!.
