On Tuesday, November 8, 1932, a big election took place! The election of 1932 had 2 big candidates running, which was Franklin Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover.
This election took place in the middle of the Great Depression. Roosevelt campaigned on a New Deal to end the Depression! Roosevelt had one message that he wanted to get through and that was " appeal to the voters who were mired in the poverty caused by the depression."
Herbert Hoover defiantly had a lazier idea then Roosevelt and that was that in time the economy would just turn around. Due to the Great Depression and Black Friday the people who once believed that Hoover could turn the economy around lost faith in him and his ability to help them. Herbert Hoover was the 31st president of the United States, and the 32nd president was..... Franklin Roosevelt!!
I would most certaintly have voted for Roosevelt because he had a plan that seemed like it would work and Herbert Hoover really was being super lazy! I think a change in the econemy was what our country needed and Roosevelt got people more jobs! He also helped families out and he was just a really big economic changer!
