Tengowski - I-4 election of 1948
Truman's popularity sharply declined after becoming president in 1945, falling from 87% to 32% by 1946. In the 1946 midterm elections, Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress. Truman ran for re-election in 1948 against Republican Thomas Dewey and two third party candidates. Early polls showed Dewey leading, but Truman campaigned aggressively across the country.

Lesson 8
President John F. Kennedy faced many challenges during his short time in office such as the Bay of Pigs invasion, Cuban Missile Crisis, and growing civil rights movement.

Next steps in Vietnam
The document summarizes the escalating U.S. involvement in Vietnam under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson.

The document provides a summary of important people and events in United States history from the late 18th century to the mid-19th century. It covers the early presidents and political developments, westward expansion, inventions, reform movements such as abolition and women's rights, immigration trends, and events of the Civil War era. Key figures mentioned include presidents Washington to Lincoln, inventors Whitney and Fulton, abolitionists Douglass and Tubman, and Civil War generals Lee and Grant.
Presidents Truman-Ford
Harry Truman became president in 1945 after FDR died. He oversaw the end of WWII and began several domestic programs. However, he faced opposition to much of his "Fair Deal" agenda and ended his presidency very unpopular with only a 22% approval rating. Dwight Eisenhower succeeded him as a Republican. He continued Truman's Cold War containment policy and helped establish several defense pacts. John F. Kennedy was elected in 1960 and proposed an ambitious "New Frontier" agenda, but was assassinated in 1963.
Abraham lincoln
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the USA from 1861-1865. He played a pivotal leadership role in preserving the Union during the Civil War and issued the Emancipation Proclamation that ended slavery. While widely praised for these achievements, some criticize Lincoln for suspending habeas corpus and forcing Southern states to remain in the Union. Others argue he failed to fully abolish slavery and weakened the Republic in the long run. However, most historians agree that Lincoln faced immense challenges during the Civil War and managed to keep the country united while laying the foundation for democracy, making him one of the greatest US presidents.

The Movement Takes a New Turn
The civil rights movement split in the mid-1960s due to the rise of black nationalism and calls for black power led by Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael which advocated for racial separation and black self-sufficiency rather than integration. This split the movement from groups like the NAACP and SCLC that pursued non-violent protest and integration. The tragic assassinations of MLK Jr. and RFK in 1968 further eroded hope in non-violent change and sparked riots across the country. However, the civil rights movement achieved its goal of ending legal segregation and saw more African Americans able to vote and get elected to political office, demonstrating its lasting legacy of progress toward racial equality.
