 Dwight D. Eisenhower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower (born David Dwight Eisenhower on October 14, 1890 – March 28, 1969) was an American soldier and politician, who served as the thirty-fourth President of the United States (1953-1961).
After the war, Eisenhower reverted to his regular rank of captain (and was promoted to major the next day) before assuming duties at Camp Meade, Maryland, where he remained until 1922.
This was partly because of the contrast between Eisenhower and his young activist successor, John F. Kennedy, but also because of his reluctance to support the civil rights movement to the degree that more liberal individuals would have preferred to stop McCarthyism, even though he opposed McCarthy's tactics and claims[1].
