What revised history text did you get that out of? The issue was whether to retain the rather unpopular ex-Missouri Senator in the job he inherited from FDR. I sauppose you think Truman was a very popular President - sorry , but he had to fight for the nomination, Lot of people disagreed with his ultra left wing views like socialized medicine. Others disliked his past and connection with Pendergast gang in Kansas City. He barely won. Then along came Korea and put the final nails in his coffin, he decided not to run again (he had only been elected once) against Eisenhower and delegated the job of losing to Adlai Stevenson. Truman never said much or did much about segregation. Had the reputation of an antiKKK judge in KC. His momma when a guest at the White House refused to sleep in the `Lincoln bedroom' because of his record in the Civil war (Missouri was a divided State during that war. It was Eisenhower who brought the Korean war to a truce and mobilized the National Guard to enforce integration starting in Little Rock. The basic issue of the Dixiecrat Party was States ownership of the oil reserves under their tidelands.
