How did president hoover try to fix the problems of the great depression?

History

Answer:

Explanation:

Direct federal relief to the unemployed ran counter to President Herbert Hoover's strong beliefs about the limited role of government. As a result, he responded to the economic crisis with a goal of getting people back to work rather than directly granting relief. In October 1930, he established the President's Emergency Committee for Employment (later renamed the President's Organization for Unemployment Relief) to coordinate the efforts of local welfare agencies.  As the Great Depression worsened, however, charitable organizations were simply overwhelmed by the magnitude of the problem, and Hoover tried new ideas to stimulate the economy:

* The Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) (1932) provided railroads, banks, and other financial institutions with money for loans.

* The Glass-Steagall Act (1932) made getting commercial credit easier and released $750 million in gold reserves for additional business loans.

* The Emergency Relief and Construction Act (1932) provided funds to the RFC to make loans for relief to the states and included additional money for local, state, and federal public works projects.

 Despite Hoover's efforts to revitalize the economy, the public blamed him for the Great Depression — and the Republicans lost control of both Congress and the White House for almost two decades.

makkiz [27]
Using the system of elimination, I'd say the correct answer is <span>C. It shows the worst of America, whereas the other poem shows the best of America.
It's not A because there is no love being portrayed in "I Sit and Look Out;" it's not B because there is no defined rhyme scheme in that poem; it's not D because both poems show the working class. 
So based on this, it has to be C - the first poem shows hatred, pain, and violence, whereas the other one shows unity and love.

Scorched Earth policy. The Russians burned whatever they couldn't take with them. In that period, lots of supplies were gained through scavenging and taking from the locals, but with everything destroyed, the French had no supplies bar what was being sent to them, but the further into Russia they got, the longer it took for supplies to catch up.<span />
