What are 'Hoovervilles'?

Answer 1

In 1932 about 20,000 US veterans of World War-1 went to Washington

trying to obtain financial relief during the depression by demanding the

full and immediate payment of the veterans payment due in 1945. They

established shanties and shacks to live in while their pleas were being

considered by the Congress. These temporary "Homes" were actually a

poor example of a slum and in honor of the President Hoover were given

the pejorative name Hoovervilles. To the shame of all involved, the US

Army was called in to burn out and disperse the protesters.

The "Hooverville" term was used to represent all subsequent depression era shantytowns.

Hoovervilles are where homeless people lived and they were called Hoovervilles because Herbert Hoover was in office as president at the time and everyone blamed him for the depression.
