Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Herbert Clark Hoover was born in Iowa, in 1874. He became the presidential candidate of the Republicans in 1928 and ultimately clinched the presidential seat the following year, becoming the 31st president of the United States of America between 1929 to 1933.

There was stock market crash during his early days in office and his administration tried to alleviate the effects the depression, brought by the economic issues, had on the citizens of the country.

But he was unable to do that effectively, so he called on business leaders not to sack their workers or reduce their wages. He further asked people to help one another and not to entirely rely on the government for aid.
