During the depression, Americans were surrounded by poverty, such as Hoovervilles, or shantytowns where the homeless resided. Citizens were unemployed, impoverished and angry, and felt Hoover was doing nothing to aid in the depressive state the U.S was in.
And then roosevelt came with the New Deal Plan, which managed to guide the American people to get up and came back from the depression
