During the 1948 election there were many issues. People were worry about the fact that Dewey lost to Truman. There were people saying how much Dewey will win by.
The things everyone was having trouble with Truman is the fact he was against the race and the lack of rights everyone were having. In 1948 the U.S.A. became the world's most powerful nation thanks to the atomic bombs that were dropped in the cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Which killed over 140,000 people.
There were 5 big things Harry Truman did as president.
2) Supported railroad and coal miners in their strike. 3) Civil rights- desegregated the Army?
4) support creation of new country- Israel?
5) Marshall Plan.
The Americans started getting worried about Russia and what they should do about them since they found out about the atomic bomb? I think Harry Truman did fulfilled his responsibility as president of America.
