Harry Truman

Harry S. Truman was an American politician. A Democrat from Missouri, Truman was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1934 and was re-elected in 1940. Truman held relatively liberal views for his state, and when President Henry Wallace signed an executive order desegregating the U.S. Army in 1944, Truman reluctantly came out in support of the order. This led to a severe backlash against him in his state, which disillusioned him with politics. Truman did not run for re-election in 1946, and subsequently retired from politics.
