Why did Americans blame hoover for the countries problems?
It is very common, after a major disaster or crisis occurs, for finger-pointing to begin, and whoever is in power at the time often gets some blame, whether that is fair or not. In this case, the major disaster was the crash of the economy. It was blamed on President Hoover because as conditions worsened, and more average Americans lost their jobs and their ability to feed their family, Hoover's policies seemed to only favor helping the wealthy. Whether that was true or not could be debated, but it quickly became a belief of average Americans that Hoover's laissez-faire approach to economic issues only helped big corporations and left everyone else to fend for themselves. Hoover also made his own situation worse because he had a media problem-- he was a very poor radio speaker in an era when using radio for communication had become essential for any politician. He failed to explain his policies in a way that gave Americans confidence, and the public turned against him, deciding a change of leadership was necessary if the US was to recover from the Great Depression.
