Topic 8.4
What if President Truman did not implement his Fair Deal policies following World War II?
World War II may have lasted longer as America would not be able to support the war effort without these policies.
The civil rights movement may not have occurred in the mid-20th century without Truman's support for desegregation efforts.
The U.S might have defaulted on its international debts due to excessive spending on domestic issues.
Income disparities may have widened significantly due to lack of social safety nets such as health insurance and public housing provisions from the Fair Deal policies.
