In 1928, herbert hoover said: "(america) has come nearer to the abolition of poverty than humanity has ever reached before." what group of americans at that time would disagree with his statement?

Farmers, African Americans, and Native Americans.

Explanation:

These three groups of people were hit hard by poverty during the Hoover administration and the following years.

Farmers were suffering from lower crop prices and harsh climate conditions. During the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl, this group of people would suffer even more.

African Americans faced discrimination, and their past as slaves still affected them. Most of them were poor, either in the industrial cities in the North, or in the rural areas of the Black Belt in the South.

Native Americans were confined to reservations, frequently thousands of miles away from their original homelands. Poverty was (and still is) rampart.
