In the election of 1932 Hoover maintained that the great depression was the fault of?
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. The Bank of England no longer redeemed its paper money in gold bullion or coin. Investors feared that all paper money would lose its value so they withdrew $1.5 billion in gold from American banks. This further weakened the global economic situation.
What else can I help you with?
Why did they think the great depression Hoovers fault?
Mostly because it happened "on his watch" as the saying goes, and he had made the campaign speech about "A chicken in every pot, two cars in every garage, and prosperity is just around the corner". Also, once the market crashed and the depression hit, Hoover did little to really help the American people, insisting that business would work out out the problems soon enough. All that said, it still appears, historically, that the lions share of the blame for the market crash and Depression should be laid at the feet of Calvin Coolidge, rather than Hoover. The market crash and Depression were a result of an orgy of financial jerry-rigging that went on during Coolidge's administration, which he turned a blind eye to by saying, repeatedly: "The business of America is Business".
What did Herbert Hoover initially believe about the federal government's role in the Great Depression?
Herbert Hoover was a traditional Republican who favored laissez-faire policies. That is, he did not believe in government intervention, and wanted to avoid having people become dependent on government assistance. Further, he was certain this economic cycle would soon recover and straighten itself out. Thus, although he did take some smaller actions to try to improve the economy, he did not forcefully intervene; and by the time it became apparent that his approach wasn't working, it was too late. Many historians of his day believed he lost the election in 1932 because the public blamed him and his policies for the Depression. (It should also be noted that some modern-day historians, especially those who are conservatives, have defended his policies and have insisted the Depression was not his fault.)
What did Herbert Hoover do in response to the Great Depression?
The very first thing Hoover did in response to the 1929 crash was call business leaders to Washington to pressure them into keeping wages high, instead of cutting wages as economic conditions required. Lee E. Ohanian of UCLA calculates that this was the cause of about 2/3 of the unemployment in the first years of the Great Depression. While not believing in charity by the government, Hoover did try and help the economic mess that began during his administration. 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. Hebert Hoover was blamed for the great depression because of his lack of involvement and issue with the stock market. He took out his money from the stocks which feared Americans currently invested in the stock market, so they pulled their money out as well, this decreased the value of stocks greatly. Also, when the great depression struck, Hoover decided not to give government aid to the people believing that it would inflate the Federal government budget. Later on though, Hoover decided to take action and try to get America out of this depression. Herbert Hoover broke with the previous laissez-faire policy for dealing with recessions and depressions. Long before the 1929 crash, in the early 1920's, he wrote that he believed that public works projects were a means for government to fight recessions and depressions. In the last week of October 1929, he urged the Fed to extend $300 million in quantitative easing. Right after the '29 crash, he called business leaders to Washington to keep them from lowering wages as market conditions demanded. He used a technique called "voluntarism", but which was as voluntary as a mobster's calls for "cooperation". He strong armed them by threatening them with pro-union legislation. UCLA professor Lee E. Ohanian calculates that this caused as much as two thirds of the increase in unemployment in the early years of the Great Depression. Read his article "What or Who Started the Great Depression". Hoover's public works projects include the Hoover Dam. Total spending on public works in 1930 exceeded $4 billion. Hoover tried to help by pressuring business leaders to keep wages high when economic conditions dictated that they fall. Professor Lee E. Ohanian calculates that this accounts for as much as 2/3 of the unemployment in the first years of the Great Depression. Liberals claim that Hoover's laissez-faire caused the Great Depression, but the opposite is true. His interventions caused it.

Although it was not Hoovers fault that the Great Depression took place and that the Stock Market crashed Hoover was widely blamed and was strongly disliked by the American people, due to his lack of involvement. As the U.S failed, American people looked to Hoover for leadership, many were starving, homeless and dying but Hoover refused to believe or give any government assistance to those who needed it. He believed that the people could help themselves and he also referred to the Great Depression as "a temporary halt in the prosperity of a great people." He also feared that by giving American people assistance it would inflate the federal budget and reduce the self-respect of the Americans receiving the aid.

The year is 1932. You are the campaign manager for Herbert Hoover as he runs for re-election to the presidency. Most of America blames Hoover for the Great Depression. What if your job is to get him r?
You would have the usual job of a planning a political campaign. You would try to convince the voters that Hoover was the best choice. You would try to present and articulate his good points. YOU would try to explain that the depression was not his fault but that he would fix it. You might explain that his opponent's ideas would only make things worse and perhaps pinpoint the personal flaws of the opponent. You would tell all the other things that Hoover would do and has done besides improve the economy.
