Read the passage from a speech President Jimmy Carter gave in 1979 describing the national mood, followed by a response by Ronald Reagan.
The symptoms of this crisis of the American spirit are all around us. For the first time in the history of our country a majority of our people believe that the next five years will be worse than the past five years. Two-thirds of our people do not even vote.
âJimmy Carter,
1979
Much of this talk has come from leaders who claim that our problems are too difficult to handle. We are supposed to meekly accept their failures as the most which humanly can be done. They tell us we must learn to live with less, and teach our children that their lives will be less full and prosperous than ours have been; that the America of the coming years will be a place whereâbecause of our past excessesâit will be impossible to dream and make those dreams come true. I donât believe that. And, I donât believe you do either.
âRonald Reagan,
1979
How were Carterâs and Reaganâs views in the two passages reflected in the results of the 1980 presidential election?
Most voters agreed that people should learn to live with less.
A majority of voters favored Carterâs view of the nationâs future.
