Some of Truman’s programs passed while some failed. His Civil Rights program was opposed by
Senators from the South but he managed to end segregation in the military as
well as the government. His health
programs did not pass despite long discussions.
His welfare program did not hit its intended number but many were given
benefits. Labor and education also
failed to pass. His bill on housing did
pass with the support of conservative senators and so did his bill for veterans. He delayed too long in housing and it failed
and federal reclamation and power projects failed because it was not enforced
well.
