His seven-hour reign is the shortest duration of a US President in history, and likely will be for a long time. He was also the last President to represent the Democrat Party.
Well. Wallace managing to effectively kill off the Democratic party I did not expect. I am guessing it's more of a fade into irrelevance then, with more and more people jumping ship - the few remaining dixiecrats for the Freedumb party, the moderates for the Republicans and the leftists for a new party which stresses that they are American first, socialist second, with only a handful of loyalists remaining with a party which has lost basically all support?
Truman was dragged even more thoroughly through the dirt, with Fielding Wright, Governor of Mississippi and a leading member of the Freedom Party saying, ‘even if he weren’t a spy he should be hanged for being so danged stupid to work with that jack in the box’. Truman would attempt for all his life to deny charges that he was a Communist agent but it wasn’t until close to his deathbed that passions had cooled to the point a historical appraisal was possible and people could realise how horribly he had been treated by all sides. Even still, he had a far better fate than other members of the Wallace Adminstration.
The poor guy does the decent thing and cedes power effective immediately to the Republican house leader and is still hounded? Should it not be obvious at least to academics and people with real power that Truman was pretty much trapped - without 100% hard evidence of outright treason, he couldn't act against his own president without being labelled a traitorous rat.
