Answer:

⌦ ❝ The United States presidential election of 1948 is considered by most historians as the greatest election upset in American history. Virtually every prediction (with or without public opinion polls) indicated that incumbent President Harry S. Truman would be defeated by Republican Thomas E. Dewey. Truman won, overcoming a three-way split in his own party. Truman's surprise victory was the fifth consecutive win for the Democratic Party in a presidential election. As a result of the 1948 congressional election, the Democrats would regain control of both houses of Congress. Thus, Truman's election confirmed the Democratic Party's status as the nation's majority party, a status they would retain until 1952. ❞

What is the story of Daedalus and Icarus
mote1985 [20]

Daedalus was a brilliant inventor. Unfortunately, he angered King Minos, the ruler of the island Crete, and he has to hightail it out of there. He is desperate to flee the island, so Daedalus uses wax to build some wings for himself and his son Icarus. Daddy Daedalus warns his son to fly at a middle height: the seawater will dampen the wings and the sun will melt them. (Not good either way.) Icarus listens to his father's advice for a while, but then he gets cocky. He's having so much fun flying that he forgets the warning and flies too close to the sun. This makes his wings melt, and Icarus plummets into the sea and drowns. Daedalus is devastated and sad by his son's death, but the show must go on. He flies on to Sicily, where he mourns Icarus and builds a temple in honor of the god Apollo. Hope this helped!
