When Marty McFly tells Dr. Emmit Brown in 1955 that the President in 1985 will be Ronald Reagan, Doc replies in disbelief “Ronald Reagan, the actor? Then who’s Vice President then, Jerry Lewis?” Now this skepticism wasn’t completely uncalled for; before his political career Ronald Reagan was a famous actor and Doc probably had the same reaction of anyone else in that time period. However, Reagan the politician was much different than Reagan the actor. During the years of his administration the United States made massive gains in both the economy and in foreign affairs. He has been referred to by some as one of the most important and influential political leaders in modern American history and rightfully so. The principle of “Reaganomics” and the results of his effort to end the feud between the Soviet Union and the United States of America, summarized by his famous line of “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”, have helped shape the world into what it is today.…
On September 14, 1986, President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan delivered their “Just Say No” address to the nation. Reagan warned parents against drug dealers who were “plot[ting]...to steal our children’s lives.” This speech came after several years of President Reagan’s administration's War on Drugs that utilized the media and congressional and military action to reduce drug use. His administration created a “national crusade” that treated drug use as an attack on society that required a military reaction. Ronald Reagan’s crusade had the consequence of creating a climate for discriminatory congressional legislation and law enforcement.…

He reminds the audience he will meet this need, and promises a better future.…
In the early 1980’s the United States was still dealing with the repercussions of the Cold War. At this time, the Soviet Union was considered the United States’ most dangerous enemy and the public feared nuclear attack by the Soviets. Specific incidents such as the Soviet interference in the Middle East, specifically in Afghanistan, frustrated the United States because it affected oil supplies. Consequently, President Ronald Reagan took action in response to the aggressive behavior of the Soviets by boycotting the 1980 Moscow Olympic games and placing an embargo on goods. In March of 1983, Reagan gave the speech titled “Evil Empire” to the National Association of Evangelicals and to Florida Congressional Delegates. In this speech, Reagan…
When he saw a surplus, he gave the money back to the people in the form of tax rebates, which he received resounding support for doing (Noonan, 94-99). In 1980, he won the presidency by a wide margin. There, he did what he said that he would do: cut taxes and grow the military (Noonan, 165-166). A deep recession followed, which tanked his approval rating near the end of his first term (Gallup). Yet Reagan still won the 1984 election in a near clean sweep. How could this be possible? Reagan made use of his charisma to sway the public’s opinion of him following the events that would have otherwise ruined the chances of an inexperienced or unprepared incumbent. Ronald Reagan is significant in American history because while he did achieve some laudable things in his term, his personality and political platform were able to mask the real long term implications of his various policies and bolster others; many Republicans look back on his presidency fondly as an ideal for future presidents despite his simplistic ideas and failure in some aspects of his…

In the 1980’s Reagan achieved success through his policies to transform American government and politics. These policies went on to guide the political and social system we find today. The 1980’s was at a period in which when important economic policies in the United States had vanished almost a decade ago from commercialism post World War II. That was the time of restoration and development for economy in the U.S and the rest for the world to repair from the desolation caused by the war.…
