I think had Wallace been president and been able to get stuff passed through Congress the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's would have happened a generation earlier as Wallace likely would have been very inclusive and visited the ghettos and the reservations and the poor farms and the Chinatowns in an attempt to bring everyone from these vastly different backgrounds together to show, "Hey, we may look different but we all in this together!" He would have probably been like the white MLK of the 40's (before MLK became prominent).
We would have a very different world. 64% of the American people supported this man for VP, the nearest polled at 15%, Truman didn't even poll. The Democratic party stole what would have been, installing Truman in a smokey back room. This problem has been going on for a long time. who was both the actual author of the New Deal, and Roosevelt's personal pick for V.P. (per Eleanor)
As a non-American, I can say that the US foreign relations would be much better! FDR planned to share the "housekeeping" of the world with the UK, USSR, China and France - he knew the cost of doing it alone would put the US in the road to failure.
Not sure at every turn - he was FDR's VP and acomplished a lot! He was sabotaged on the nomination for the 1944 elections, though - FDR had no energy at the time.
Churchill was lot better leader then Wallace he hell out against Hitler when he was bombing the hell out of England what would Wallace have done I Surrender' oi to weak.
Germany was punished.too much by england .and France had them was respirations for world war one they distroyed there industry and there money value went to zero people. where starving that how come Hitler took power because of Germany was treated after world war one President Wilson league of Nations might have prevent world war ll but r
He would have been if Steve Hannigan (head of the DNC, ala Deb Shits) hadn't reverted the list. Eleanor Roosevelt wanted Wallace, and on a short-list, FDR's last choice was Truman.
This is the man that should have been the rightful heir to Franklin Roosevelt to continue his policies instead of the weak, bigot Harry "Nuke Em" Truman.

your great. grandpa was a dupe of the. Russia Communists who people where enslaved thank god for a man who knew history like President Truman who had gut to stànd up to Stalin who was worse then.Hitler killed four million,Stalin killed ten million Mao killed forty million Hitler was piker compared to communist.
what did JFK say in Berlin people say you can work with the Communists let them come to Berlin Germany communist party is evil but you can work with communist let them come to Berlin Germany USA never had to build wall to keep people in the USA free people must stand up against communist in slave ment all free people in the world should stand up for freedom in Berlin
It was a different time, WWII. There were posters of FDR and Uncle Joe togeather in American post offices, we were allies against Hitler's war machine in a war that the Soviet army won at the cost of 20 million lives. If Wallace had any illusions, consider his breathtaking view of our American illusions in this speech. Given that unparalled objectivity about our own failures, always the hardest thing to own up to, do you think he would not have come to see what ever the Soviets were doing? What he wanted to prevent was a cold war which Truman pushed, destroying the goodwill that our cooperation with the Soviets had created. In short, he would have continued the kind of realist relationship that FDR had pioneered a decades before WWII.
@@chrisdiver6224 We did not know then of the Concentration camps any more than we knew the camps of the Gulags. So we made alliance with one devil against the other against his mirror image. Before the spring of 1945. the slave kingdom of Hitler had not been revealed to us. Then seeing with our own eyes, we felt justified in our own savagery as we rained bombs on the civilian population of Germany.
Khrushchev denounced Stalin's brutality and the gulag in 1955 and later praised Solzhenitsyn's One Day In The Life. I have read Solzhenitsyn's three books on the Gulag and others, recommend The First Circle and August 1914. Khrushchev was a pre Gorbachev Gorbachev and was praised by Gorbachev for his morality and far sighted leadership. Did American leadership respond to the olive branch Khrushchev offered us in the mid 1950s? No, because Truman had poisoned relations by pushing cold war. So we have to ask, what openness to Khrushchev might have been possible if Wallace or his approach to the Soviets had been American policy after WWII?
Most of what we think we know about Stalin has turned out to be a lie. And at that time the majority of the propaganda against Stalin came from Hitler Goebbles and their US collaborators like William Randolph Hearst and hardly anyone believed Hearst because his story was as we know decades later, a lie, but it was called out then. When Wallace visited the Soviet Union he saw a very positive image, was it all staged? Possibly? I don’t know. Wallace retracted his statement in regards to his statement but entirely based on anecdotal evidence. There are things that are horrible that I think were true. But in comparison to the USA not worse. For example it is verifiable that he separated Roma families because they wouldn’t conform to society, but the USA did something very similar to the Native Americans. And we did not find out that information until the 1990’s. On the other hand he actually saved 1.7 million Jews from the Holocaust while GB and the USA sent Jewish immigrants back to Nazi Germany. The USA likes to exclaim but the Gulags! While the USA has the most people in prison in the history of the world. And let’s look at that body count. Truman evaporated 300,000 Japanese in an instant and maimed a million others. Then murdered 1 million North Koreans and burned almost every village down in North Korea and still lost the war. If we add up the brutal deaths of US imperialism it amounts to far more than the alleged deaths which no one has proven of Stalin and several have disproven like Arch Getty.
“(….)the last spasms of the Teutonic monster. In all the (…) of the world, the people of the towns carry the bright inspiration of their own dignity. The triumph of liberty is assured.”
In many European countries "proto-communist" (actually not communist at all) unions are the foundation of our systems, like my country Denmark. This is in fact a case of "small government" - the dream of US libertarians - in that the labour unions and associations, and their employer counterparts in industry and trade, are organisations independent on the government, and the two sides renegotiate terms at regular intervals, based on a "main agreement" that was reached as early as 1899. This has been so (with revisions as with most agreements) for 125 years! This is not a law, mind you, but an agreement between two parties. No government involved. In practice, if negotiations stall, and critical functions are in danger because of strikes and lockouts, the government will assist in mediation, and may in the end define a compromise as a law. We don't even have a set minimum wage in Denmark! (Various trades and industries have, but these are negotiated, and differ among types of work.) If Wallace had been president, the boom of the 50es and 60es would probably have happened anyway, maybe even with greater results. And you all would have something 6 weeks vacation every year and a 37 hour work week like more advanced societies. Oh, and a _health care system_ !
I Guess he did know much about Russia or Stalin, Stalin starved 6 million Ukrainians.purged millions. Is Wallace painted by some people as a Commie? Yes
Consider the fact that in 1942, the US and the USSR had a common enemy, and public opinion wasn't very negative during the war. It was acceptable back then to ignore the Russians as long as they won the war.

In the end Wallace was a heavy critic of Stalin. However his anti-American exceptionalism approach was and still is on-point.
Still, had he been president instead of Truman, the Cold War could have been very different. But that is all just speculative anyway.
As any real leftist should be. Anti authoritarianism whatever the colour of the flag waved about.
Very little was known about the Stalinist regime at the time. He was critic of Stalin but surely would play ball with Khrushchev.
