Hoover backed many government relief programs to relieve the Depression. True False
True
No false!
you're absolutely correct! (about the answer being false) "In 1932 Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected overwhelmingly on a campaign promising a New Deal for the American people. Roosevelt worked quickly upon his election to deliver the New Deal, an unprecedented number of reforms addressing the catastrophic effects of the Great Depression. Unlike his predecessor, Herbert Hoover, who felt that the public should support the government and not the other way around, Roosevelt felt it was the federal government’s duty to help the American people weather these bad times." FDR wanted to create a program to help the American people, but Herbert Hoover believed that the public should support the government, not the other way around. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/general-article/dustbowl-new-deal/
