November 4, 1952

The United States presidential election of 1952 took place during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Combined with national tension and weariness after two years of bloody stalemate in the Korean War, set the stage for a hotly fought presidential contest.

The Democratic Party nominated Governor Adlai Stevenson of Illinois; Stevenson had gained a reputation in Illinois as a great speaker. The Republican Party chose popular war hero General Dwight D. Eisenhower who won in a landslide. Eisenhower, at 62, was the oldest man to become President.

1948 Election

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.

1) Drop the atomic bomb?
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.
