John Edgar Hoover's Accomplishments

Former Senator Joseph McCarthy put it perfectly when he said, “… for the FBI is J. Edgar Hoover and I think we can rest assured that it will always be.” (qtd. in Denenberg 7). J. Edgar Hoover is credited for reconstructing the Bureau of Investigations (later renamed Federal Bureau of Investigations). Regardless of how people saw him, Hoover was powerful and committed, and did everything within his power to improve the agency that would make this country a safer place for all.

` Herbert Hoover was born on August 10, 1874, in West Branch, Iowa, and was the first president born west of the Mississippi River. He was academically successful and strived to be the best. He was a great candidate but his presidency was a failed one. The Great Depression is mostly to blame, as Hoover worked hard to get to his position and then watched his hard work leave as he lost the chance to be reelected.

Another thing to discuss is what he did in the FBI. During, and even after WWII, the FBI became known for working against the Nazi and Communist espionage. Eventually, Hoover’s power moved the Congress in 1968 to enact legislation requiring the senate to confirm future FBI directors. The Congress also limited the future FBI directors tenure to ten years. After King’s assassination, the FBI, under Hoover’s directions, launched a successful

Herbert Hoover served as the thirty-first President from 1929 to 1933 where he was succeeded by Roosevelt. Hoover was the United States President during a troubling time for many Americans; the Great Depression. Hoover gained a “reputation as a humanitarian in World War I by leading hunger-relief efforts in Europe as head of the American Relief Administration” (biography.com). Hoover was also the U.S. secretary of commerce before he served time in office. Hoover was a known humanitarian and organized many relief efforts. Hoover has many other published works such as The Memoirs of Herbert Hoover: The Cabinet and the Presidency, The Challenge to Liberty, The Problems of Lasting Peace, The Ordeal of Woodrow Wilson, Principles of Mining, and Fishing

President Herbert Hoover once pronounced, “The president is not only the leader of the party, he is the President of the whole people. He must interpret the conscience of America. He must guide his conduct by the idealism of our people.” America’s 31st president was forced to tackle the Great Depression and help save others from starvation. Born in Iowa Village in 1874, Herbert Hoover, an orphan, adopted by his uncle, grew up in Oregon Where he attended Quaker schools. Hoover enrolled at Stanford University when the school opened in 1891, where he then graduated as a mining engineer. Herbert Hoover positively impacted humanity due to improvements in the economy as well as culturally making a difference in people’s lives. Specifically, he provided others with homes to stay in, lent money to citizens, and attempted to stop the Great Depression. Hoover also culturally affected humanity positively by providing members of the United States and Europe with necessities, saving people from disease with the help of the peace army, and providing people with food.

(Herbert Hoover). He had risen to be one of the elite with his popularity as the Secretary of Commerce under Warren G. Harding. (Herbert Hoover). He had chosen to run for the presidency in the year 1928. (Herbert Hoover). With his promises of peace and wealth for our country, he won the vote by a landslide with 40 states backing him and a record breaking margin. (Herbert Hoover). He was the first president of the United States of America born west of the Mississippi. (Herbert Hoover). Herbert Hoover declared in his inaugural address, “I have no fears for the future of our country”. (Herbert Hoover). Only a short seven months after he took over the presidency, the United States stock market experienced a large drop in value. (Herbert Hoover). Many banks and businesses failed all over the country which signaled the start of the depression. (Herbert Hoover). Millions of Americans went broke and the unemployment rate rose from 3 percent to 23 percent in a mere 3 years. In these times of crises, Herbert Hoover became a target for the people because of his stern belief that depressions such as this should only be handled by the people and not by government. (Herbert Hoover). With this belief he proceeded to veto many bills that would help Americans out in their struggle to stay afloat. As an end result, Herbert Hoover went from the beloved to the hated. He had been blamed for most all of the depression itself and for this reason the people started naming their makeshift homes after him known as Hoovervilles. (Herbert Hoover). Towards the end of his presidency, he had reached an all-time low of popularity and with FDR winning the 1932 election that would be the end of Hoover’s time as president. (Herbert Hoover). He stated to the press that’s “no one is actually starving” which lead to further unrest in the American people. (The Ordeal of Herbert Hoover). Finally, one of Hoover’s greatest

Hoover's level of autocratic control of the FBI was absolute. His sympathy toward individual appearance and expert conduct was mixed throughout the office. This prompted a high level of how he and the officers working for the FBI

Herbert Hoover’s most positive impact was when he began the relief work in Europe during WWI, instead of when Hoover was president. Herbert Hoover's presidency took place during the great depression, which made it look like Hoover was a bad president, while instead he just drew the short end of the stick. Sadly this wasn't the first time Hoover didn't have the best of luck. He had gone through several traumas throughout his life. Maybe this is what made him so resilient in the face of such difficult times.

Herbert Clark Hoover was gloriously born August 10, 1874 and tragically died after suffering for days from a massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage on October 20, 1964. Both of Hoover’s parents were dead by the time he was nine years old and was raised in a Quaker home. By the time Hoover was 23 years old he was working as an engineer in Western Australia. As a republican, Hoover served head of the U.S. food Admin. during world war 1, and became internationally known for humanitarian efforts in war-time Belgium. As the United States Secretary of Commerce in the 1920s under Presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge, he promoted partnerships between government and business under the prescript "economic modernization". In the presidential

One major project he started was the construction of the Hoover Dam. This was part of a public work project designed to build things that needed to be build but also put people to work. Hoover started a project to build an very large dam and the project did employ thousands but since the project took years to complete, most were hired after he left office. The Hoover dam is considered one of the great engineering projects of all time .

Above all President Hoover saw poverty with his own eyes, and knew that he must change it any way possible. Because people shouldn’t be living on the streets or jobless, it was hard for the people who were homeless, because trying to live in the horrible conditions, and doing their best to find hope in Hoover was very difficult. it was heartbreaking for Hoover to see and hear about what’s been happening he decided to re open businesses, and help unemployed people have a job, create new buildings and jobs for everyone to have a second chance at living their lives.

Hoover then tried something that until then no president had done; he tried to create public work schemes. This surely shows us the extent to which Hoover was prepared to go to in order to help end the downward economic spiral. For the first time, a president was taking an active roll in America, it may not have been much, but it was a start. Some people took the strain off Hoover, such as Henry Ford in 1931 with statements such as “The Average man won't really do a days work unless he is caught and can't get out of it. There is plenty of work to do – If people would do it”[10]. Hoover was clearly trying, but trying doesn't quite cut it.

To Herbert Hoover’s view, the sense of service that lies in Americans was the best approach for the United States. Without the sense of service among citizens, America could not move forward. The sense of service included equal opportunity. Hoover also thought America should not follow or believe other countries’ individualism, the country like France. Americans had fooled themselves into pretending that all men are equal in ability, in intelligence, in character, and in ambition. They got that idea from the French revolution. Later on, they released that was a big lie; men are not equal in ability or character; but equal through in liberty, justice, intellectual welfare, equality of opportunity, and stimulation to service. Overall the best
