    To What Extent Did Thomas E. Dewey Win The Election Of 1948

    The candidates of the election of 1948 included Harry S. Truman (Democratic Party), Thomas E. Dewey (Republican Party), and Strom Thurmond (Dixiecrat Party). Harry S. Truman directed his campaign towards 4 groups: laborers, farmers, Negroes, and consumers. Thomas E.

Strom Thurmond criticized and opposed Truman’s ideas for civil rights. The election of 1948 was considered a dramatic upset because almost every prediction made about the election was in favor of Thomas E. Dewey; however, Harry S. Truman ended up being the winner of the election. Henry Wallace, the 33rd Vice President…

    Unit 6 Assignment 1 Personal Military Strategy

    My strategy in the game was to make appearances in states that shared one or more of my issue positions. Throughout the rounds, I often began by fundraising in order to pay for my appearances, media, and polling. When I raised $3, I was able to fund all three options. However, because my opponent eventually took the lead, I was often only able to fundraise from states that offered $2. In such cases, I always chose to make an appearance. However, I alternated between choosing to poll new states or create a campaign advertisement.…
