Despite the fact that the 1946 elections resulted in significant losses for Truman's Democratic Party, he did not become more conservative nor did he abandon his Fair Deal proposals.

This was Truman's attempt to appeal to African American voters and demonstrate his commitment to civil rights, even in the face of political setbacks.
