how Reagan won election in 1980

Essay question

Write an essay on “the seventies” (defined as 1974-80) that explores the “clash of cultures” (including, of course, the growth of the religious right) and the loss of faith in government and Presidential leadership; explains how Reagan won election in 1980; and evaluates whether the period deserves to be considered the “worst of times.”
