Has History been too hard on Hoover?

Use the hand out:
1)What were Hoover’s core beliefs? p.12-13
2)What were the strengths and weaknesses of Hoover’s  policies 1929-1931? p.14
3)What examples can you use to support Kennedy’s argument that Hoover’s 1932 programme laid the foundation for Roosevelt abandoning of laissez-faire? p.14-15
4)How did Hoover mishandle the Bonus March? p.15
5)Give examples to show how Hoover became the source of public ridicule/bad press p.15-16
6)Has history been too hard on Hoover? p.16

Pages refer to Sanders In Search of the American Dream but also included to support your answers if you wish are those from the Pearson Edexcel textbook and Doug and Susan Willoughby’s The USA 1917-45.

7)Use pages 83-87 to explain how the ‘Wall Street Crash’ led to the ‘Great Depression’ (a flow chart or sequence of events).
8)FOLDER CHECK – use the checklist in your course guide.
