USA: Presidential election 1932

In the class of history, we were studying USA and we wrote an essay answering the question: How important were Republican reactions to the Wall Street Crash as causes of Roosevelt’s success in the presidential elections of 1932?
Here is mine:

On the one hand, Hoover’s actions helped Roosevelt rise on power. Hoover war regarded as ‘do nothing’ president. He cut taxes to improved the economy and introduced tariff to protect US industry. Hoover said that prosperity was just around the corner and that was not involve in economy. He believed that social security was not responsibility of the government. These events, with the international trade, marked the depression worse.

He promised the American people “New Deal”.
