The two men who were of Truman's role models were Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln.
Andrew Jackson was an American soldier and statesman who served as the seventh president of the United States from 1829 to 1837. Before being elected to the presidency, Jackson gained fame as a general in the United States Army and served in both houses of Congress.
Abraham Lincoln was an American lawyer and politician who ruled the country as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War.
The United States emerged from World War 1 as a leading <u>economical</u> nation. At the end of the war, the U.S. was part of the group which was not as devastated as other ones, because they are a Industrial country and during the war they continued producing at levels much higher that before, the increases did not stop. Their mobilization was extraordinary. It is important to say that the U.S. sent around 200,000 persons to fight, who were just enough to have impact, because France, for example, was sending more than 2,000,000 persons. <u>Spending not as much as the other countries</u> who were fighting and still making what they needed, helped them to grow up.
