In the 30's and 40's the US was initially recovering from the Great Depression, caused largely by speculation and excessive buying on margin during the rising economy of the 20's.
Roosevelt implemented programs directly intended to help those suffering the most from aftermath of the great depression by creating jobs and programs to help the unemployed, poor, elderly and disabled. And veterans.Those programs kept people and families from starving. And legislation to prevent the crash from happening again, including creation of the SEC and FDIC.
My parents were kids during the Great Depression - I heard stories growing up. It was bad, families struggled hard to make ends meet. But the Great Depression happened on Hoover's watch, Roosevelt just cleaned it up.
Did you know that in the early 30's Hoover refused veterans payment of bonus money which was earned in the mid 20's? Veterans protested and marched, many stayed in tent encampments. Hoover sent McArthur with tear gas and tanks to burn them out. Hoover was no prize.
Then we spent the late 30's and early 40's fighting to remove dictators in other countries.
