The bonus army, a collection of world war veterans and their families gathered in DC in 1932 in protest of the world war adjusted compensation act. This act delayed their promises payment until 1945. They were given certificates that would build compound interest until that date. However, this was during the great depression and the veterans needed their promises cash immediately, so they demanded it be cashed immediately. The gov refused, and Hoover ordered general Douglas MacArthur to drive them off all government property.
