Some of Nancy Reagan accomplishes are that she was the first lady, that she was the wife of Ronald Reagan the US president and that she helped campaign in just saying no to drugs campaign. I think one of Nancy's accomplishments is being the first lady I think this because it's a big accomplishment or a big deal to become a first lady. So that's why I think it is one of her accomplishments. Another accomplishment is who she married she could not have been a first lady if you're not married Ronald Reagan. So that is why I think that one of her other accomplishments is becoming a wife of Ronald Reagan.…

Both of those presidents, Reagan and FDR, are thought to be some of the greatest presidents ever. Which one was right? The new deal was based on government and how it was trying to help people. I think FDR’s intentions were great, but the New Deal ended up being a failure. It was a failure because it excluded people, Left half of the country starving…

Being Jewish anywhere in the world was hard in the 1930s and 40s. Almost all know about German jewish hardship, the systematic slaughter of millions of jews in death camps across Hitler’s empire, but what many do not understand is that anti-semitism was incredibly strong in the United States as well. However, in a time when almost none stood by their side, Franklin Delano Roosevelt seemed the only world leader who cared. However, his cabinet did not share his welcoming attitude, and attempted to sabotage him. Although Roosevelt demonstrated that he did care about saving the Jews, his administration perpetrated systematic denial of Jewish entry to the country. Because he did not do enough to investigate this until it was too late, he is…
Between the end of World War II and through the end of the 1960’s American’s enjoyed a time that was full of material comfort due to the power of the American industry production.

We start to feel bad so we help the other countries make it to the finish line while they help us in other ways. This meaning we provide them with the goods they need but for a good chunk of change. Places like Europe and Japan start to recover from World War II and the…
At the beginning of his speech, Reagan states that “freedom” and “personal liberty” are concepts that “prosper” when religion is prominent. This is significant because Reagan emphasizes the religiousness of the United States and the atheism of the Soviet Union. Therefore, he is implying that the Soviet Union is against freedom and liberty. Reagan also emphasizes that the United States government if fighting to “keep America strong and free” from enemies like the Soviet Union. He also states that “we will never give away our freedom,” which implies that the Soviets will try to take away the freedom of the American public. It is Reagan’s glittering generalities that caused the speech to resonate with his audience and the American public, because freedom, liberty, and prosperity are all values that are held in very high accord in the United States. Reagan uses loaded language to idealize the United States and to turn the public against the Soviet…
