- Anacostia in the District of Columbia: The Bonus Army, a group of World War I veterans seeking expedited benefits, established a Hooverville in 1932. Many of these men came from afar, illegally by riding on railroad freight trains to join the movement.[12] At its maximum there were 15,000 people living there.[13] The camp was demolished by units of the U.S. Army, commanded by Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
Democrats would have NEVER done this to veterans
