In response, stiff laws were passed to deter terrorism, and schools adopted “zero tolerance” measures against violence.

25. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Clinton also attempted to reform healthcare. But Clinton overestimated popular support for the initiative; most Americans thought it was too complicated. The healthcare reform bill was widely criticized, and it was dropped after a year of debate. A task force, led by First Lady Hillary Clinton, was formed to develop a program that would guarantee care for all Americans. This setback, two years into Clinton’s term, signaled a turning point in his popularity, and Republicans responded.

Under Clinton’s watch, the United States agreed to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the North American response to Europe’s European Union (EU), in 1994. But many groups opposed NAFTA, saying it would take jobs away from the United States and hurt the environment.

It took a primary role in financing and managing the World Bank, which helps developing nations with issues such as healthcare, human rights, and poverty. The United States believes that developing countries with stable economies are vital to its own security. With the Cold War over, the United States had to redefine its role in the world.

37. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. U.S. Military Intervention in the 1990s Many Americans favored economic support for foreign countries.

In 2000, Clinton brought Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat and Israeli leader Ehud Barak to Camp David to broker a peace agreement between them. It was not successful. Conflict in the Middle East increased in the 1990s.

39. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. The United States became a target of Middle Eastern extremists. A terrorist group called al Qaeda exploded a bomb in the World Trade Center in New York City in 1993. The group also set off bombs, killing more than 225 people at American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. In 2000, they attacked the USS Cole, a warship anchored off Yemen, killing 17 American sailors. American leaders learned that fighting terrorism would be extremely difficult.

As Clinton’s second term neared its end in 2000, his Vice President, Democrat Al Gore, ran for President against Republican George W. Bush. Although Gore won more popular votes than Bush, the electoral vote margin was too close to call.

48. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Osama bin Laden, leader of the al Qaeda network, was thought to be hiding in Afghanistan, where the Taliban allowed him to operate. The United States and its allies sent forces to Afghanistan and overthrew the Taliban. Bin Laden escaped capture.

49. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. President Bush worked to prevent future terrorist attacks. Congress passed the Patriot Act. Critics claimed it violated civil liberties. The new Department of Homeland Security coordinated security matters among federal, state, and local agencies.

50. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Saddam and many of his supporters were captured. Bush then turned his attention to Iraq, where many feared Saddam Hussein was stockpiling Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). In 2003, American and British forces invaded Iraq.

51. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Many Americans were troubled by the war, terrorism, and the budget as they cast their votes in the 2004 election. Bush won reelection, but the United States seemed to be returning to a country of deep political divisions.

52. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Although Saddam was overthrown, fighting broke out among three rival groups in Iraq. The country was consumed by chaos. The Iraq war continued in Bush’s second term. Critics of Bush said he had misled Congress and the American people. In 2008, a Senate Intelligence Committee report determined that there was no credible evidence to support claims that Iraq was developing WMDs or had ties to terrorist groups.

53. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Federal response to the disaster was slow. Discontent with the administration grew. The 2006 midterm elections gave control of the House and the Senate back to the Democrats. Meanwhile, President Bush faced domestic challenges. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the U.S. Gulf Coast.

Democratic senator Barack Obama of Illinois was a graduate of Harvard Law School. He had been a community organizer in Chicago and a state senator in Illinois. Republican senator John McCain of Arizona served as a pilot in Vietnam, and had been a prisoner of war. He was first elected to Congress in 1982. Barack Obama won the election, becoming the first African American President of the United States.

56. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Upon entering office, President Obama addressed domestic issues. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was a stimulus package designed to pump money into the economy. In 2009, legislation was passed overhauling the nation’s healthcare system. It included coverage for the 46 million uninsured Americans, and prevented denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions. Some opposed the healthcare plan, saying it cost too much and gave the federal government too much power.

57. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Obama also addressed the war in Iraq. In August 2010 the President announced that the American mission in Iraq had ended. More than 4,000 troops had been killed in the war and over 31,000 wounded. 50,000 American troops stayed behind in support roles. Thanks to a troop surge, Iraq was significantly more stable, although acts of terrorism continued.

58. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. At the same time, Obama increased the American military presence in Afghanistan. American forces focused their efforts on the Taliban in Afghanistan and their allies in Pakistan. In May 2011, al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy SEALS who raided his compound in Pakistan. The mastermind of the 9/11 attacks was dead. However, Americans knew that bin Laden’s death did not end the threat of terrorism.

59. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. As the 2010 elections approached, the nation seemed increasingly divided. Many Americans supported Obama, while others were angered by his actions. The Tea Party Movement wanted to reduce the size and scope of the federal government. They ran as Republicans but also criticized Republicans as big spenders. Republicans won control of the House and Senate in the 2010 congressional elections.

69. TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas. Americans now live longer, and the elderly exert more influence than they did just 100 years ago. President Bush proposed privatizing Social Security, but critics defeated the idea. Debate continues on how to resolve the problem. But no matter the challenge, Americans looked forward to the new millennium with optimism and strength. The demographic shift to an older population has also strained the Social Security and Medicare systems.
