1. Why did Hoover oppose the federal government's participation in relief programs?

3. Explain the significance of the stock market crash, including Black Tuesday.
A: On October 29, a day later dubbed Black Tuesday, prices took the steepest dive after a week of falling prices. That day stocks lost $10 to $15 billion in value. By mid-November, stock prices had dropped by over one-third. Some $30 billion was lost, a sum roughly equal to the total wages earned by Americans in 1929. The stock market crash was not the major cause of the Great Depression, but it underminded the economy's ability to hold out against its other weakenesses such as the tailspin of failing banks.
4. What did business leaders promise Hoover they would do to help the economy? Did they keep their promises?
A: Business leaders promised Hoover they would keep factories open and stop slashing wages. However, they did not keep their promises.
