harry truman
I have yet to learn about a more blue collar worker than Harry Truman. He was one of few presidents with honest morals and that is very hard to find in politicians and in no way was he ever greedy or selfish. His power was never used for his own benefits, unlike his first boss Tom Pendergast. When he did something, he did it to help his community or in the case of his being president he did them for all of America. He wasn't brought up on luxury, private schools or catering all his life either which greatly adds to his respectful character. Never able to use his social standards to advance himself or to make himself money. Another thing that I admire about Harry Truman is that all of the people around him were those kind of people that would use their power and the peoples expenses for their advantages. This never corrupted him and he always stayed true to his beliefs, his ways or their was no way he would be involved. His honesty and his hard work earned him the resp!ect of millions of people throughout his life.
Even after the war his efforts did not deplete a drop. He was determined in not letting Communism spread across Europe, therefore he proposed the Truman Doctrine. One thing I did want to find out but didn't was why he was never enrolled in any schools. so made some of the most important decisions in human history and changed the course of WWII. In order to save more American lives he felt it necessary to drop the bomb on Japan and kill millions more in a short period of time. This would provide aid to the rebuilding nations and protection from !invading Communist nations. He stated after being informed of the news that, "I feel like the moon, the stars, and all of the planets have fallen down upon me. Ever further his Secretary of State proposed the Marshal Plan, which would provide funds for the reconstruction of struggling European nations, who at this time were in serious crisis. If he was so interested in all of the different things he could learn why wouldn't he want to be educated, or was it because he was so stubborn that he felt there wasn't anything, anybody could teach him that he couldn't learn on his own simple by reading a book. After Roosevelt's sudden death the responsibility of the American people in the war became his, and it was not like he was ready or it what so ever. His wife was there for him so he felt it very wrong to mis treat or cheat in anyway at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. He was elected again in 1948, this second term was mainly concerned with the Cold War and the Soviet Union, the North Atlantic Pact, and the UN involvement in North Korea along with other economic problems. With no high school or college education he was able to teach himself things that would take some of us years to learn. The main reason though, why I like Harry Truman, is because he was self educated and also because when his businesses failed or farming failed for him he didn't give up and he was always learning from his mistakes.
