The women's rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s fought to end discrimination against women through organizations like NOW and legal victories like Title IX and Roe v. Wade. However, it became more divided in the late 1970s between moderate and radical factions. Gerald Ford restored confidence as president after Watergate but struggled with a poor economy. Jimmy Carter was elected in 1976 but faced mounting problems at home over inflation and energy shortages as well as crises abroad like the Iran hostage situation. By 1980, conservative values reemerged strongly in response to the social and economic turmoil of the previous decade.

Richard Nixon rose through the political ranks as a staunch anti-communist; however, the policy of his predecessors brought the world to the brink of nuclear war and brought the U.S. into an expensive and increasingly unpopular war.
Nixon embraced the policy of détente, a relaxing of tensions with the communist world. He negotiated the SALT I Treaty, established relations with Communist China, and established the Nixon Doctrine of assisting allies with money and weapons, but not with U.S. troops.
The Nixon Doctrine was applied in Vietnam with the Vietnamization of the war. Nixon declared “Peace with Honor” when the last U.S. troops left Vietnam, but Saigon fell to the communists just two years later.
Nixon employed the Madman Theory so that his adversaries would believe he was unpredictable.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Women’s Rights Movement
Feminism of the 1960s and early 1970s
To challenge the cult of domesticity.
National Organization for Women (NOW-1966)
Goals: to end job discrimination, legalize abortion,
obtain federal and state support for child-care center.
Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972
Support for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) (1972)
Roe v. Wade (1973)
Legalized abortion
Becomes more radical by late 1970s.
Divisions between moderate and radical feminists.
Gloria Steinham attacks men and homemakers;
alienates most women: public backlash and “right to life”
3. Gerald Ford
Ford inherited a presidential
office badly diminished by
the Watergate scandals.
As the first unelected president,
he had no popular mandate and
was not well known outside of
Washington.
Yet his easy manner and
modest approach to
government helped restore
at least some degree of
confidence in the office of
president.
4.
5. Ford’s Domestic Agenda
Social and Fiscal
Conservative
Believed the federal
government exercised too
much power over domestic
affairs.
Resisted congressional
pressure to reduce taxes and
increase Federal spending.
Along with an energy crisis,
this helped plunge the
economy into a deep
6. Ford’s Foreign Policy:
Extending Détente
SALT II
Ford met with Brezhnev in
1974 and accepted the
framework for another arms-
control agreement that was to
serve as the basis for SALT II.
Helsinki Summit
Ford and Brezhnev met in
Finland in August 1975 with
other European leaders.
Agreed to recognize the
political boundaries that had
divided Eastern and Western
Europe since 1945.
7. 1976 Election
Jimmy Carter (Democrat)
Peanut farmer &1 term governor of Georgia
Washington outsider
Gerald Ford (Republican)
Nixon pardon
Recession
Carter narrowly with 50.1% of popular
vote
Carried 90% of black voters
Looked to bring a new simplicity and directness
9. Jimmy Carter
Carter and his staff had
very little experience in
Washington and did
not know how to push
forward an agenda.
Could not maneuver
his proposals through
Congress.
10. Criticism Builds at Home
Offered amnesty to the thousands of
young men who had fled the country
rather than serve in Vietnam.
Negotiated a treaty to turn over the
Panama Canal Zone by 1999.
The Economy
Inherited a bad economy and left it much worse.
Stagflation – double digit inflation and increased
unemployment.
Problems with the Oil Supply
11. Problems with Oil Supply
Yom Kippur War (1973)
Syria and Egypt launched a
surprise attack against
Israel
Soviet Union supplied the
Arabs and the U.S. supplied
the Israeli allies
The seven Arab members of
the Organization of
Petroleum Exporting
Countries (OPEC) imposed
a boycott of oil sales to
countries seen as friendly to
Israel. (October 1973 to
March 1974)
12. Fighting Inflation
OPEC continued to
raise prices.
Energy costs rose
Inflation rose
Interest rates shot to
20%.
Carter called only for
voluntary restraints
on prices and wages
and conservation of
energy.
13. Problems with Oil Supply
Motorists were forced to wait in long lines
for limited supplies of gasoline that they
regarded as excessively expensive.
Many Americans saw nuclear energy as the
only alternative.
Three Mile Island (1979)
Nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania ruptured and
released radioactive gas. 100,000 people fled their homes.
Carter’s approval rating dropped to 26%.
Lower than Nixon’s during Watergate
14. Camp David
Accords
In 1978, Carter invited Egypt’s President
Anwar el-Sadat and Israel’s Prime Minister
Menachem Begin to Camp David.
Peace Agreement
Israel would return the Sinai to Egypt in exchange
for recognition.
Israel had to negotiate a resolution of the Palestinian
refugee dilemma. (Never happened)
Made an all-out war between Israel and the
Arab world less likely.
15. Mounting Troubles
SALT II signed in 1979.
The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979.
Iran Hostage Crisis (1979-80)
Ayatollah Khomeini ousts Shaw of Iran in 1979.
Carter allowed the ousted Shaw to come to U.S.
Radicals captured U.S. embassy to trade for Shaw and
wealth.
U.S. rescue mission ended with fatal helicopter crash.
53 Americans were held hostage until the day Reagan
took office. (444 days)
Carter finally released several billion dollars of Iranian assets to
ransom the kidnapped hostages.
16. End of Postwar Liberalism
Carter’s failure was largely symbolic.
The uneasiness of the late 1970s
reflected a widespread
disillusionment with liberal social
programs.
Americans lose faith in government
Vietnam puts into question the
containment doctrine
Government could not manage the
economy
Decline in race relations
17. Triumph of Conservatism
By 1980 rising prices, energy shortages,
and similar economic uncertainties fed a
growing resistance to a liberal agenda.
Hard-pressed workers resented increased
competition from minorities, especially
those supported by affirmative action
quotas and government programs.
Citizens resisted the demands for higher
taxes to support social welfare spending.
18. Triumph of Conservatism:
The Moral Majority
A major revival of evangelical religion in late
1970s.
The traditional family seemed under siege, as
divorce rates and births to single mothers
soared.
Sexually explicit media, an outspoken gay rights
movement, and the availability of legal abortions struck
many religious conservatives as part of a wholesale
assault on decency.
Increasingly the political agenda was
determined by those who wanted to restore a
strong family, traditional religious values,
19. Triumph of Conservatism:
Ronald Reagan
Unleash the capitalist spirit.
(limited government)
Dismantle the “bloated” federal
bureaucracy.
Reduce taxes and regulations.
Undo the welfare state.
Restore national pride and regain
international respect.
Increase military spending.
Outlaw abortions and reinstitute
school prayer.
Emphasis is on what is right
instead of what’s wrong –
patriotism and religion.
