 Herbert Hoover, a Republican president at the beginning of the Great Depression, was ineffective in his response because he made many of the Americans really mad. Farmers burned their crops instead of selling it to people at a very low price, they also dumped their milk on the highways. Some farmers declared a "farmer's holiday" on which they stopped working, and also blocked roads to prevent food to the market. Hoover did not like the government to give things to the people because he refused to support direct relief or forms of federal welfare. The Bonus Army was made up of World War I veterans and their families to get their money, but then Hoover tear-gassed the people, including children, and made a bad impression of him.
