Hoover Carries On
President Hoover narrowly won the 1932 election. Hoover only tried to stop the depression when the democrats chose their candidate for president, Alfred E. Smith after the most likely Franklin D. Roosevelt came down with Tuberculosis. The first weeks of the second term of the Hoover presidency was not kind to the nation. The winter of 1932-33 was cold and unbearable. Many in the Hooverville's sprung up across the nation froze to death as the Great Depression drove them from their homes.
