Herbert Hoover served as the 31st president of the United States from 1929 to 1933. Great Depression about 1929 to late 1930s.
Hoover warned that Roosevelt would be the death of the democracy. On the campaign trail, he predicted that if the Democrats won, "the grass will grow in streets of a hundred cities, a thousand towns."
"When the American people realize some 10 years hence it was on November 8, 1932, that they surrendered the freedom of mind and spirit for which their ancestors had fought and agonized for over 300 years, they will, I hope, recollect, that at least I tried to save them," Hoover wrote privately to a friend after the election.
