The Rough Riders were a volunteer cavalry military unit from the US, raised in 1898 to participate in combats during the Spanish-American War. The US had decided to intervene in the conflict between Cuba and Spain after the explosion of the cruise USS Maine, for which the Spanish were blamed.
President McKingley had called for volunteers due to the situation of the army, which was small and understaffed, if compared to previous conflicts. <u>Being constituted by volunteers</u> fostered the sucess of this military unit as they were fueled by an inner passion towards defending their country and its prestige, therefore they fought with this extra motivation.
President Hoover was unprepared for the scope of the depression crisis, and his limited response did not begin to help the millions of Americans in need. The steps he took were very much in keeping with his philosophy of limited government, a philosophy that many had shared with him until the upheavals of the Great Depression made it clear that a more direct government response was required. But Hoover was stubborn in his refusal to give “handouts,” as he saw direct government aid. He called for a spirit of volunteerism among America’s businesses, asking them to keep workers employed, and he exhorted the American people to tighten their belts and make do in the spirit of “rugged individualism.” While Hoover’s philosophy and his appeal to the country were very much in keeping with his character, it was not enough to keep the economy from plummeting further into economic chaos.
The steps Hoover did ultimately take were too little, too late. He created programs for putting people back to work and helping beleaguered local and state charities with aid. But the programs were small in scale and highly specific as to who could benefit, and they only touched a small percentage of those in need. As the situation worsened, the public grew increasingly unhappy with Hoover. He left office with one of the lowest approval ratings of any president in history.
Impeachment, proceedings against the president came when Johnson breached the Tenure of Office Act by removing Edwin Stanton, Secretary of War, from the cabinet.
