Who was the president of the United States when the Great Depression was in full swing? Herbert Hoover. Soon after Black Thursday hit in 1929, he was there in office. I remember learning in history classes that most of the public didn't like what Hoover did, his approach to this dark time in America before Franklin D. Roosevelt came to the office.
But, I am grateful for Herbert Hoover because despite what went wrong, I am confident that he did what he felt would be best in such challenging circumstances. Very few people would want to be in his position at that time.
