In the 1948 presidential election, Wallace was the presidential nominee of the Progressive Party. ==Early life== The Wallace family was of Scots-Irish Presbyterian heritage and had originally emigrated from Ulster to Pennsylvania. Henry Agard Wallace's grandfather, Henry Wallace or "Uncle Henry", was a former Presbyterian minister who preached the "social gospel". As a large landowner in Iowa, "Uncle Henry" was an advocate of "scientific farming" and helped organize The Farmers' Protective Association, the Agricultural Editors Association, and the Iowa Improved Stock Association, becoming the editor of the ''Iowa Homestead'', the state's largest and most important farm publication. He viewed it as his life mission to serve God by helping his fellow farmers.〔John C. Culver and John Hyde, ''American Dreamer: The Life and Times of Henry A. Wallace'' (W.W.
