1990s-Today Focus Questions: How have terrorist attacks changed American life and foreign policy? How has American society changed at the beginning of the 21st century?

12 Years of Republican Rule Ends 1992- Bill Clinton elected to the presidency A “new,” more moderate Democrat Former governor of Arkansas http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commerci als/1992

Triumphs and Failures in the 90s Successes Failures Balanced the budget and presided over an economic boom. Reformed the welfare system Intervened in Bosnia to stop genocide U.S. joins NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) *Some Americans are against this because they feared it would result in U.S. jobs being lost to Mexico Tried to reform healthcare but failed to pass Congress Investigated for an improper affair with an intern and lying under oath Impeached!!! But not removed from office.

Clinton’s Impeachment To charge a public official with a crime while in office Charged with perjury (lying) and obstruction of justice. You tell me: Did Bill Clinton’s crimes deserve impeachment?

I Love the 90s High-tech industries- like computers, lead to economic boom (lots of $$). Based in Silicon Valley (California) NASDAQ: measures how healthy the stock market is Economy doing well!

2000 Election--Confusion Gore vs. Bush A close call in Florida--votes must be recounted Issue goes to the Supreme Court for them to decide-recounts and victory goes to Bush http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/2000

Attack on America September 11, 2001, the World Trade Center and Pentagon are hit by planes hijacked by terrorists What has been the impact on American life?

Effects of Terrorism Department of Homeland Security Created (Cabinet Post): Created to coordinate national anti-terror efforts Patriot Act: passed in 2001, gives law enforcement agencies increased power to complete surveillance to bring terrorists to justice. Operation Iraqi Freedom: 2003 (overthrowing Saddam Hussein– accused of having weapons of mass destruction) Changes American Foreign Policy: Focus on “War on Terrorism” ** Is the Patriot Act necessary for national security or is it a violation of American privacy? **How is the War on Terror different from previous wars?

Why do you think they call it the Sunbelt? Population Changes People are moving to the Sunbelt– better weather, cheaper housing, more jobs The average age of Americans is getting older— ”graying of America”

Immigration U.S. immigration policy since 1986- reduce the number of people entering the country illegally.

Majority of immigrants to the U.S are from Latin America in the 2000s
