LIFE AFTER WATERGATE The Ford and Carter Years

Moving on from Watergate Gerald Ford was sworn in as President after Nixon resigned in He was neither elected President nor Vice-President. Ford wanted to help the nation heal after the Watergate scandal. He granted Nixon a full pardon from all criminal charges.

Ford in the White House Ford tried to combat rising inflation with his “WIN” campaign Ford is not able to gain public support while he is president He runs for President in 1976 but loses to the unknown Jimmy Carter.

President Jimmy Carter Jimmy Carter promised to restore integrity to the presidency- he defeated Ford by a narrow margin Carter was an outsider to Washington who was seen as trustworthy and uncorrupt He did not make deals with Congress which made it impossible for them to get along

Carter’s Domestic Policy Carter inherited an economy with high inflation and high unemployment He tried to encourage conservation of energy and oil after shortages occurred from violence in the Middle East Carter signed the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 which encouraged banks and savings associations to meet the needs of borrowers in their local communities

The Camp David Accords 1978 Carter hosts talks between Anwar el-Sadat, President of Egypt, & Menachem Begin, President of Israel Camp David Accords forge peace between Israel and Egypt: - Israel withdraws from Sinai Peninsula - Egypt recognizes Israel’s right to exist This treaty helped bring stability to the region which in turn would help keep oil prices down

Camp David Accords

Beginnings of the Iran Hostage Crisis Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, the leader of Iran, angered religious leaders which led to a revolt and overthrow of the government. Reza Pahlavi came to America to seek treatment for cancer This angered Ayatollah Khomeini, the new Islamic leader of Iran

The Hostage Crisis In November of 1979 a mob of angry students entered the U.S. embassy in Teheran, Iran and took 52 American citizens hostage They wanted the United States to return Reza Pahlavi to Iran, which Jimmy Carter refused, he wanted to negotiate without military intervention They were held hostage for 444 days and released on the day that Ronald Reagan was sworn into office

Iran Hostage Crisis

Conclusion Ford and Carter were not able to fix the troubling economy in the 1970’s They were however able to help restore some trust in the government after the Watergate Scandal
