Another fact about Hoover.... he had the longest post-presidency retirement - some 31 years (1933- his death in 1964) until Jimmy Carter who currently stands at 37 years.

Hoover: I G O T C R I P P L I N G D E P R E S S I O N

Honestly his best work as a politician was outside of the oval office. He was a mediocre president but a great organizer before and after, and his time as a statesmen towards the end of his career was also respectable.

He was still one of our most qualified Presidents though.

To be fair, he did try to keep the economy stable. He just didn't know what to do. A for effort.

A very interesting man. And ironically (for all his associations with the Great Depression) arguably one of the greatest humanitarians of the early 20th Century for his relief work in Europe. He will never be seen as a great president for his lacklustre response to one of the worst financial disasters ever... but his many achievements outside should not be overlooked.

Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.

It's sad because I think there's a good case to be made that he is the most misrepresented and unfairly treated person in history. He fed millions and millions of starving Europeans during and after the First World War. He was known as a great humanitarian and did so much good. He gets blamed for a Depression that would've happened regardless of who was in the White House. He lived for 90 years but is sadly remembered only for four of them.

And then in 1929, the market crashes and we find it's Herbert Hoover's big debut. He gets the blame.

He helped 11 million people from starving in Soviet Russia.

I believe Hoover did not start the Great Depression but he wasn’t doin well with the economy

Did I do that?

Oh 60 seconds, and it’s PBS... I’m sure this won’t be a biased video at all! /s

Well apart from price fixing high taxes and government works, he was a die hard capitalist

Here we have a guy whose right brain didn't know what his left brain was doing.

Hoover was a good person but let’s just say he got hooked on something in 1929

Every time its funny 😯😂

Herbert Hoover's Effort: B+

0:08 How Hoover Was Born

I don't think the Great Depression can be blamed on any one individual any more than the Great Recession can.

Who else is doing this for school 😩

It's "Paralyzed" lol

Benjamin Clawhauser was the 31st president.

Hoo?

Oooooooops wall street my bad sort of😢😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

How dare a politician want the population to take any initiative in their own well being. Didn't he know the government should always spend and spend and spend on its children - the people?

one of the worst presidents he tried to fix the depression but failed.

The economy was correcting itself. Unemployment had dropped from 9% to 6% on it's own. The smoot hawley tariff act reversed this course and set the decade long great depression into motion.

;)

Didn't do anything? Am I reading false history? Wasn't Hoovers whole outlook one of government intervention? He kept wages artificially high, kept credit inflated (the federal reserve added 300 million to credit in October 1929 alone). He started a bunch of major public works like the hoover dam. "We didn't admit it at the time, but practically the whole New Deal was extrapolated from programs that Hoover started" -Rexwell Tugwell I think the issue is he did too much. The economy is like water that needs to find it's level. If wages go down and prices go higher so be it, that is the natural flow and if you try to stop it you do more harm than good. This is the lesson that should be learned from Hoover. But we'll never learn that lesson, ever.

So only state what he did bad lol

Coolidge DID NOT like Hoover. The people that made these videos need to study the subject before they start "teaching" it.

He had such a baby face! I think it was because he was born in the countryside earing pure foods and breathing clean air. Lots of country people from rural areas have the same plain big smooth face. His feminine features would attract a lot of gay men nowadays!!

Herbert Hoover is my Favorite President He is the best president in world history Herbert Hoover August 10,1874-October 20,1964

Maybe if the Great Depression Never Happened, He Would Be A Great President!

TOM Thumb S HAULT.

I think it should be investigated if the American states now and then are legislated with the Bible written as a story. The word immunity (Latin immunitas, freedom from obligations to the state) comes from a religious revelation from the middle ages, most likely from a pope to become lawless, and which has since been rewritten into sovereign, absolute, and qualified immunity (legally, cannot be prosecuted for criminal act) to the president, senate (origin, the Roman Empire), congress, cabinet, and Supreme Court for law decisions and actions. The political exploitation of the vital ecosystem has now led to forest death, how will it affect people's economy, etc. I also think The Democratic party can be a consciously misleading party name with all parties belonging to The Republican party, as current political democracy and socialism can only be about going more toward the middle, eg. The Democrats for law decisions and actions, even with the misleading word professional politician. Furthermore I think the people should consider voting for a real democratic party with an independent state formation to investigate if the president, parties, senate (origin, the Roman Empire), congress, cabinet, and Supreme Court overall may be guilty of a violation of democratic rights with misleading elections, economic crimes, violation of human rights with class society for adults and children, and serious environmental crime (force majeure).

Most usless president in history
