Cordell Hull (1871-1955) was a politician from Tennessee. He served as Secretary of State under President Franklin D. Roosevelt before and during World War II.
[edit] Cordell Hull in Worldwar
Cordell Hull served as United States Secretary of State from 1933 to 1944 under Franklin D. Roosevelt. He held this office during World War II as well as after the Race's Conquest Fleet invaded Earth in 1942. When Vice President Henry Wallace was killed during the war by an atomic bomb in Seattle, Hull became second in the line of succession to the Presidency. When President Roosevelt died in 1944, Hull became the 33rd President of the United States. He selected Chief of Staff George Marshall to replace him as Secretary of State.
The Race was disappointed that Roosevelt's death and Hull's ascension did not lead to the collapse of the U.S.
[edit] Cordell Hull in Southern Victory
Cordell Hull was the Radical Liberal candidate for President of the Confederate States in 1933. He was beaten by Jake Featherston and the Freedom Party. Hull had the sense to follow previous Radical Liberal candidates into obscurity, unlike his running mate, Huey Long.
