Mr. Hughes: Great video. Two questions though: 1. Since the two-thirds rule was still in effect, giving the South an effective veto over the Democratic nomination, and the convention was held in the South (Houston, Texas), how in the world did Al Smith get the nomination in the first place? 2. Do you have any thoughts on the argument, made at the time, that Hoover was not constitutionally qualified to be President, because he had not been a resident of the United States for fourteen (consecutive) years? During part of the time between 1915 and 1929, he lived in Europe. In retrospect, I am sure the Catholic church was grateful that Smith lost or at least should be. The Great Depression was inevitable, given the Republican policies of 1921 to 1929, but if Smith had been President, I am sure a lot of people would have blamed the Pope for stealing all the money.
I’m pretty sure there wasn’t anyone else making a serious run for the nomination because everyone knew it would be a Republican landslide no matter what, so Smith probably just had to negotiate with some southern leaders to get the nomination.
I wonder whether most people know that Smith was the only rival to FDR in the 1932 Democratic nomination, as the pair had indeed been in 1928? Could any alternate historian imagine what a Smith presidency in the 1930s (and such is not that implausible) would have produced? The question appeals quite a bit to me because of my experience dissecting the Politically Incorrect Guides - which my family says have a message of “BACVR” (“Be A Catholic, Vote Republican”) - and that organisation’s dislike of FDR.
I couldn't say FDR's name in my paternal grandpa's house. He was born 1907, a curmudgeon Interbellum generation. They screwed Ronnie Reagans head back on wrong after FDR made his last trip in the White House elevator, and got him to spin Republican Duopoly Party mantra for Bush Billionares, and Nixon. Wouldn't you know it though he collected Social Security ( just like Ayn Rand) after he found out those born before 1922 didn't have to pay in! He didn't pay all of his employer side of my FICA while I worked for worked for him though he took it out of my checks! He said I was a communist when I was twelve years old and I got my Social Security card😂
John Nance Garner was also a candidate for the nomination in 1932. FDR was not in 1928. He ran for Governor of New York that year and won. In 1924 he placed Smith's name in nomination.
Interesting how Hoover could have followed Keynesian economics before 1936, when the general theory of employment, aka the book that layed out what would become Keynesian economics written by Keynes himself was published. Was Hoover a time traveler?
You sure can make history interesting. (If you would have only been there when I was learning differential equations. Now that shit is hard. More useful than history perhaps, but so in need of good teachers.)
Actually, Hoover began his aid to the displaced in Europe during the First World War around 1915 or so, first to the Belgians, whose country was invaded the previous year; his aid programs expanded after America entered the war in 1917. It was through his humanitarian work(Hoover was a wealthy mining engineer from California)that got Hoover the position of Secretary of Commerce under Harding and Coolidge combined during the 1920s decade.
As someone who was raised catholic, i can just laugh about all this stuff today. But it's really indicative of what kind of prejudices exist and how they still strongly affect our political system today, just in a different way. Prejudice against muslims or prejudice against atheists is a strong force that is either strongly believed by a strong faction or universally tolerated even today. And once again, as someone raised catholic and who has since distanced itself from the faith strongly, seeing these posters is kinda like most non-practicing muslims or otherwise distant to fundamentalism persons have to feel today every time the anti-muslim-bigotry is being run down. You still kinda feel offended and attacked not because you believe in catholicism, but because you are being targeted just because of your heritage and family, who might still believe this nonsense.
Wilson threw Debbs in prison, and the real struggle for the commons is still going on today, especially since Reagan. Prohibition only made things worse making criminal element more common, and acceptable.
It was preferable that Herbert hoover win for what came next because Al smith was an extremely horrible Candidate, he was even someone who lacked leadership and I don't imagine someone like that handling The great depression. It's true that Herbert hoover didn't exactly do a great job with The great depression, but at least it was better to happen under him than under Al smith.
@@Pepsiman1848 The great depression was already destined to occur. The great depression was not the fault of Herbert hoover. It was the people's fault for having taken their ambition to extreme levels, the Roaring tweenties was the time of greatest wealth in the country and the citizens were so confident with their wealth that they did not realize that they were destroying themselves. The people continued to request unnecessary loans from the bank for money that they knew they would never be able to pay and the banks approved. They continued to raise prices exaggeratedly when it was not necessary. There was also a lot of abuse of the use of Credit cards and bought whatever they knew they would never be able to pay for.
Which demonstrates that Carson is an ignoramus. Or, since he seems to know something about surgery, an idiot savant. The Constitution specifically provides that no religious test shall be applicable to federal office holders. See Article VI. The problem with Trumpvangelicals like Carson is that they read only the truncated version of the Constitution. Their version consists only of the Second and Tenth Amendments, and only so much of the First Amendment that protects their own religion. They ignore everything else.
Why are Muslims being compared to Catholics in this video? Islam is a completely different religion compared to Christianity. What a stupid comparison! 😠😠😠😠😠
Back in the 20s, anti-Catholic prejudice was comparable to-arguably worse than-modern anti-Muslim sentiment. The point was about prejudice towards the religion and not the religion itself.

Thanks
im not even in school and i brush up on these vids...great stuff!
Thanks for doing these!
Herbert Hoover is the first presidential candidate to smash through the twenty million vote barrier.
MICHAEL SOWELL hoover terrible president
Mike Ingersoll No he wasn't. There were many factors which led to The Great Depression.

If only Hoover had stuck to Coolidge's economic policies. Instead he took a 180 and followed Keynesian theory to the T.
I don’t know why they choose to do that. I would have followed my Predecessors economic policies.
Interesting how Hoover could have followed Keynesian economics before 1936, when the general theory of employment, aka the book that layed out what would become Keynesian economics written by Keynes himself was published. Was Hoover a time traveler?
@phnexOice I didn't mean that he was actively a follower of Keynes, but rather, that his policies mirrored the later proposed policies of Keynes.
Unfortunately m he doesn't mean the St. Louis Cardinals.
