President Hoover falsely claimed that Americans were protected from hunger and cold during the Great Depression, but they were not. On Black Thursday, he said the country's fundamental businesses of production and distribution were on sound footing while trying to check the beginning economic fall.
When President Hoover ordered that the Bonus Army be dispersed in 1932, his public image was damaged. Hoover ordered that WW1 veterans, who were protesting outside federal buildings in Washington, DC be removed by soldiers of the Army. These protesting veterans were called the Bonus Army because they wanted immediate cash redemption for their service certificates. In 1924, Congress voted to give a bonus to WW1 veterans, but they needed to wait until 1945 to collect these bonuses. However, due to the Depression, many veterans were unemployed and so wanted their bonuses early.
Hoover's world war 1 relief work had earned him the title "Great Humanitarian". Many people blamed Hoover, not always fairly, for their problems. While people went hungry, newspaper showed a photo of him feeding his dog on the White House lawn. People booed when he said such things as "our people have been protected from hunger and cold".
Although he was active in politics his whole life, Hoover avoided the public eye as much as possible. Meanwhile, Roosevelt cultivated a friendly image through frequent radio addresses to the people.
