    The presence and role of President Davis is somewhat questionable. Two out the three accounts places President Davis in Capitol Square, however, in Sallie Putnam the President is not mentioned. The absence of President Davis in Sallie Putnam’s book is very noticeable. Putnam’s omission of President Davis raised numerous questions. One would think that the presence of the President would be worth noting. So why did she not write that Davis was there? Did she not personally like Davis?

    Our Endangered Values by former President of the United States of America, James Earl Carter Jr. (Jimmy Carter), is a book which discusses America’s “moral crisis.” The aforementioned crisis concerns heavily debated political issues since President Carter’s term, including abortion, gay rights, foreign policy, and the death penalty, and discusses President Carter’s views on such topics. He speaks of his contention between his religion, Christianity and his own political beliefs, as a Democrat (Left-Wing), and in his book, often compares biblical values to current left-wing values. President Carter also reminisces his time at the White House, and discusses his change in beliefs from his term in the White House (1977-1981) to circa 2005, when Our Endangered Values was released.

    When Carter faced Ford in the election of 1976, he was dealing with an American public that was disillusioned with the political system, and the corruption they saw in government. This stemmed mainly from the Watergate scandal under Nixon, but Ford and the Republican Party were connected with it as he was seen as part of the Washington scene under Nixon’s presidency, and he had also pardoned Nixon which proved very unpopular. One of the main reasons Carter won this election was because he was seen as being far removed from this corrupt side of politics, coming from a humble background running a peanut farm.…
