Answer:
B. 1952, Eisenhower.
Explanation:
General Dwight Eisenhower , the hero of World War Two, won the 1952 presidential election by a landslide. He got 442 electoral votes, against the merely 89 votes his Democratic rival Adlai Stevenson got. The former general won Texas, getting its 24 electoral votes. Since the Reconstruction Era, the South had been a bastion of the Democrats. He also got Florida and its 10 electoral votes (in 1952).
Nevada became the 36th state on October 31, 1864, after telegraphing the Constitution of Nevada to the Congress days before the November 8 presidential election (the largest and costliest transmission ever by telegraph). Statehood was rushed to help ensure three electoral votes for Abraham Lincoln's reelection and add to the Republican congressional majorities.[1]
Nevada's harsh but rich environment shaped its history and culture. Before 1858 small Mormon settlements along the border of Utah sustained their communities through faith, but the secular western section stumbled along until the great silver strikes beginning in 1858 created boom towns and fabulous fortunes. After the beginning of the 20th century, profits declined while Progressive reformers sought to curb rampaging capitalism
and its attendant miseries. They imagined a civilized Nevada of
universities, lofty idealism, and social reform. But an economic bust
during the 1910s and disillusionment from failures at social reform and a
population decline of nearly one-fourth meant that by 1920 Nevada had degenerated into a "beautiful desert of buried hopes."[2] The boom returned when big time gambling arrived in 1931, and with good transportation (especially to California metropolitan areas), the nation's easiest divorce laws,
and a speculative get-rich-quick spirit, Nevada had a boom-and-bust
economy that was mostly boom until the worldwide financial crisis of
2008 revealed extravagant speculation in housing and casinos on an epic
scale
