10 Worst Presidents in United States History Ever 5
Herbert’s tenure from 1929 to 1933 coincided with the beginning of the Great Depression, leading to economic hardship for the United States citizen and a high unemployment rate. Hoover’s policy during tbs time further worsened the situation and exposed millions of Americans to economic woes. Herbert Hoover had the conviction that the economy required no intervention and would bounce back naturally. Afterwards, he went ahead to introduce the Smoot-Hawley tariff. This exercise imposed high tariffs on imported goods, leading to a decline in international trade. His approach to tackling the Great Depression was ineffective, which further heightened the number of Americans suffering, and plunged them into poverty.
