Harry Truman

Harry S Truman (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was an American politician who served as the Deputy Premier of the UASR to Premier John Reed from 1940 to the end of World War II.

Early years
Harry S. Truman was born in Lamar, Missouri, on May 8, 1884, the oldest child of John Anderson Truman, a farmer and livestock dealer, and Martha Ellen Young. His middle initial "S" was taken in honor of his grandfathers, Anderson Shipp Truman and Solomon Young. Truman was first exposed to socialism while serving in the First World War, but, unlike his many compatriots, largely rejected it. After returning home, he became a lawyer and later judge in Jackson County, Missouri. He also married Bess Wallace.

Called to service as a member of the Missouri National Guard during the coup, he instead joined his comrades in mutinying and forming the Minutemen to fight against the MacArthurist forces.

With his liberal stance, he fell in with the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party post-Revolution.
