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.

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.
