The Hoover quote shows that his approach to the Great Depression is one of no hope. Hoover tried to implement a couple federal works projects (like the Hoover Dam) to kick start the economy. This limited government role is thanks to Hoover's belief in laissez faire economics, which revolves around the idea that government should be involved as little as possible in the economy. With this in mind, it is easy to understand why Hoover does not give direct financial assistance to American citizens.

FDR, on the other hand, believed that the government should help in times of crisis. FDR uses this concept and develops the "New Deal." This "New Deal" is a policy in which the federal government creates several different agencies and programs to help American citizens recover from the Great Depression. This "can do"attitude reflects his determination and ties into the aforementioned quote.

The US pursued gradual engagement into the war in multiple ways. One of the most famous was the development of the Lend-Lease Act. This law created by the US government, allowed us to aid countries involved in World War II. The aid we gave to countries included financial assistance, military equipment (like tanks), airplanes and food. This assistance was given to countries like Great Britain, who was in the midst of trying to stop Hitler's reign in Europe.

Another example of gradual engagement included the Atlantic Charter. This document, signed in August of 1941 essentially laid out a plan for what would happen after Hitler is defeated. The US President (Franklin D. Roosevelt) worked with Great Britain's Prime Minister (Winston Churchill) to develop this plan. This was agreed upon, even though the US was not technically at war yet. The US would not enter World War II until December of 1941, right after the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor.
