During the early 1930s, many Americans attributed their difficulties primarily to the effects of the Great Depression, which they believed were exacerbated by the policies of President Herbert Hoover. They often blamed the banking system's failures, the Stock Market crash of 1929, and the lack of government intervention for their economic hardships. Additionally, some turned their frustration toward wealthy individuals and corporations, viewing them as responsible for the economic inequality and hardship faced by average citizens. This environment of blame contributed to growing calls for change, ultimately leading to the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932.
