Truman wanted to drop it to prove a point.
Do some research. Don't believe what we were taught in school about it.

The Japanese were showing zero signs of surrendering at the time the bomb was dropped and we were preparing to invade Japan and up to 1,000,000 casualties was predicted for us and millions more for the Japanese. The bomb saved lives and BTW the A Bomb did not kill as many people as our fire bombings had killed in Japan and in Germany.
