[VIDEO] One of Mr. Beat's videos discusses the 34th POTUS Dwight David Eisenhower. He's known for being one of the many five-star generals of the second World War. He was in command of the Allied forces that landed on Normandy Beach in France. He was elected President of the United States in 1952 served between 1953 to 1961.
He was the President during the start of the Cold War against the communist Soviet Union. He addressed issues of Civil Right as president sending federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas to integrate the public schools. It was under him that the Interstate Highway system was first constructed. His presidency proved to be a stabilizing influence in a critical time.
Of course how he to to where he was from his humble roots in Kansas to going to West Point to his career in the US Army and then his presidency. Very fascinating look.
