Answer 1

B. 1952, Eisenhower.

Step-by-step explanation:

General Dwight Eisenhower , the hero of World War Two, won the 1952 presidential election by a landslide. He got 442 electoral votes, against the merely 89 votes his Democratic rival Adlai Stevenson got. The former general won Texas, getting its 24 electoral votes. Since the Reconstruction Era, the South had been a bastion of the Democrats. He also got Florida and its 10 electoral votes (in 1952).
