    While this act helped many people, as a farmer I would not receive aid.

    • Emergency Relief and Reconstruction Act

    • McNary-Haugen Bill

    • Teapot Dome Scandal

    • Civilian Conservation Corps

    • Indian Reorganization Act

    Correct Answer
    A. Emergency Relief and Reconstruction Act
    Explanation
    The Emergency Relief and Reconstruction Act provided aid and assistance to many people during a time of crisis. However, as a farmer, the act may not have directly benefited me. This could be because the act focused on providing relief and reconstruction for various sectors of the economy, such as infrastructure projects and unemployment relief, rather than specifically targeting agricultural issues. Therefore, while the act had positive effects for many individuals, it may not have addressed the specific needs of farmers like myself.

    • Calvin Coolidge

    • Warren Harding

    • Herbert Hoover

    Correct Answer
    A. Herbert Hoover
    Explanation
    If someone was an out of work laborer in the early 1930s, their vote would likely go to anyone except Herbert Hoover.

Therefore, it is understandable that someone in this situation would not want to vote for him.

In 1932, thousands of veterans marched on Washington, D.C. to demand the immediate payment of their bonuses. They set up camps and protested peacefully, but their demands were not met. The government eventually ordered the eviction of the veterans, leading to a violent clash between them and the police. This event became known as the Bonus Army incident.
