Was President Hoover a progressive?

Stupid question, I know, but a guy on Facebook claimed he was and that his “progressive” policies made the Depression worse. What would be really great would be if someone could direct me to a good, not totally dry source that would analyze such a claim. A quick Google search didn’t turn up anything satisfactory for me.

I told my mom. Don't listen to any bullcrap coming from facebook. I haven't been on facebook for a long time because I realize it's a manipulative platform.

@FreestyleArt Why did you tell your mom? Are you making fun of me? Lol.

But there’s this old man that posts on Facebook like 20 times a day and like half his posts are political bullshit. I’m strong enough to resist replying to 8 or 9 political bullshit posts a day, but there’s always one or two that I just can’t let go. It doesn’t help that I really don’t have a life, lol.
