| | Harry S. Truman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Truman took considerable political risk in backing civil rights, and was very concerned that the loss of Dixiecrat support might destroy the Democratic Party. | | | In June 1950 Truman ordered the Seventh Fleet of the United States Navy into the Strait of Formosa to prevent further conflict between the Republic of China and the PRC on Taiwan. | | | Furthermore, the Harry S. Truman Library has numerous examples of the signature written at various times throughout Truman's lifetime where his own use of a period after the "S" is very obvious. |

| | Yet Truman, now one of our most beloved presidents, saw his approval rating dip to only 23% a year before he left office--one point lower than Richard Nixon's when he resigned. | | | That recommendation does not, however, discredit Ferrell, especially if one is more interested in the United States under Harry Truman than Truman the man. | | | Ferrell sets straight Truman's record on civil rights giving it the credit it never really received. |
