President Hoover believed that during tough economic times, people should (and some would) help themselves. While Americans wanted their president to do something about the depression, Hoover wanted the Americans to do something about their "own" problems. Hoover stated, "The lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people support the government, the government should not support the people."

Hoover blamed the Depression on foreign economic collapse over which he had no control. Major European banks went bankrupt, causing alarm in other foreign banks. Great Britain went off the gold standard.
While not believing in charity by the government, he gave much of his money to charity and encouraged Americans to do the same. He broke with Republicans and did away with the taxes that had been placed on citizens during the Coolidge administration. He thought that would allow for more income being spent to help the economy rebound. He spent $500 million a year on public works and government programs to build or improve government properties. The most famous was the Hoover (Boulder) Dam. Congress established the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (continued by FDR) which created an agency to help banks, railroads, and other key businesses to stay in business thus helping the economy. All of these things could not stem the tide of the economic collapse. Hoover believed in a balanced budget and not pumping government money into the economy. He believed in "rugged individualism" and relied on the individual, the churches and private charities, and the local and state governments to handle most of the economic help that was needed.
he attempted to create small government investment to create jobs
to relax and stay calm but nobody did and when it was time for the new president election, Roosevelt won by a landslide.
The Hoover Dam was not a New Deal reform. It was began by President Hoover, who lost the election to Franklin D. Roosevelt, mostly because of the effects of the Great Depression. It was Franklin D. Roosevelt who introduced the New Deal.
Herbert Hoover was the president during the great wall street crashes which are generally considered to be the beginning of the great depression, so he was the first president to have to deal with it.
Important people in the Great Depression are Hebert Hoover (1874-1964) and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945). Hebert Hoover was President during the 1929 Stock Market Crash which many people blamed on him. For this, people nicknamed him Hapless Hoover. FDR, who became President in 1933 is credited for ending the Depression.
Georgia was affected by Herbert Hoover because he created the New Deal Program. With this program applied to the Great Depression, it helps to provide man men with jobs, along with the Tennessee Valley Authority that accomplished similar goals. *** Franklin D. Roosevelt created the New deal plan which included the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Social Security administration, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, and the Rural Electrification Act. Hoover was actually blamed for the depression, that is why bankrupt people at the time who lived in shacks called their "neighborhood of shacks" Hoovervilles.
The US government would take a stronger, more active role in the crisis through direct economic policies.

Actually, Roosevelt's policies were similar to Hoover's but more extreme, and even people from Roosevelt's administration later admitted that they developed some of their ideas from Hoover. Both presidents favored government intervention into the economy and it did not end the depression. Hoover's policies turned a recession into a depression, and Roosevelt's policies turned a short depression into a decade long debacle. The depression did not end until Roosevelt took the US into World War II, when virtually the whole country was in a wartime economy. It is a common misconception that Hoover favored "free-market" policies. His Republican predecessors, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge did favor free market policies, and the result was the "roaring 20's" which was a period of economic prosperity. So to answer the question, Roosevelt's policies did not so much break from Hoover's, they only expanded upon them and kept the depression going.
