Nothing to say, yet
The Korean War was at a standstill after three years, with millions of casualties. During the 1952 presidential election, Dwight D. Eisenhower promised to end the war if elected. He won and became the 34th president of the United States. Meanwhile, Reverend Swanson formed the Everett Swanson Evangelistic Association to help the hungry and oppressed. The Korean War had reached a stalemate. What looked to be a quick victory had stretched into a third year of bloody skirmishes, and those in the West had other news now clamoring for their attention. Meanwhile, the death toll kept rising. Over two million civilians were dead. The Koreans had lost nearly 500,000 soldiers on both sides, and America had seen close to 40,000 killed in action. During the presidential election of 1952, Dwight D. Eisenhower, a former five-star general, promised to end the conflict in Korea if he won. Buttons and bumper stickers proclaimed, I like Ike, and the popular grassroots candidate was elected America's 34th president. As Ike was preparing for his new post, Reverend Swanson also had new duties to consider. He must fight for the hungry and oppressed, making sure their cries did not fade away. The bell had rung. The fight had now started. He called his fledging ministry the Everett Swanson Evangelistic Association.
