Between the years 1825 and 1850, the US underwent a series of social and political reforms which attempted to democratize American life. Reform movements during this period of Jacksonian Democracy attempted to dissolve disunity in the social ladder and pushed for equal rights among all citizens. Stemming from the Second Great Awakening in the early 19th century, many of these reforms were backed by religious ideals over democratic principles.

President Reagan was seen as a racist president who did not support the development of the black society.

Even though Reagan was very confident about his economic plan many others were weary of his ideas. George W.

For many, the 1970s is considered a decade of turbulent and chaotic times. The social disorder and political commotion of the 1960s would linger into the new decade, as struggles for social justice for many disadvantaged interest groups continued. While some campaigns and movements gained momentum in certain areas, others would suffer setbacks due to unforeseen events. Women, minorities, homosexuals and other powerless people continued their struggle for equality, and many Americans, fed up with a long and costly war, united in protest against an unwinnable war in Vietnam. The political postwar Left that enjoyed its dominant run throughout the 1960s was beginning to unravel by the end of the decade and a ‘New Right’ began to take shape in

After barely winning a second term of governorship in California, Reagan set his sights on the presidency. When he decided to fully go for it in 1976 he ran into an obstacle: Gerald Ford. Reagan did not want to wait so he gave a harsh critique of Gerald’s policies from a conservative viewpoint. After losing that election the preparation for the election of 1980 began immediately.
