[Wikipedia] Henry Agard Wallace (October 7, 1888 ? November 18, 1965) served as the 33rd Vice President of the United States (1941?1945), the 11th Secretary of Agriculture (1933?1940), and the 10th Secretary of Commerce (1945?1946). Truman dismissed Wallace in September 1946 after Wallace made several controversial comments. Wallace became the editor of The New Republic and emerged as a prominent critic of Truman's foreign policies. In 1948 Wallace undertook a third-party bid for the presidency as a Progressive Party candidate, calling for universal government health-insurance, an end to the burgeoning Cold War, and the abolition of segregation. Accusations of Communist influences and Wallace's association with theosophist figures undermined his campaign. Wallace received 2.4% of the popular vote, and Truman prevailed over Wallace, Republican Thomas E. Dewey, and Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001723
