Question

How, according to chapter 29 of the American Yawp, did conservative politics change the United States in the Late 1970s (Carter Administration) and the 1980s? What was the New Right and what roll did they play in this?

Answer 1

Most 1970 streams joined politics and brought changes to America drastically. This resulted in the growth of many wings across the world. Because of many mobilization years that were accompanied by the carters’ perils, the recession saw the end of inflation. This led to tax control and gave Americans light in the improvement of the economic growth.

The Americans experienced a new right as a result of the formation of Christian leaders which was necessary for businesses and in political also. The movement was in favor of hard-line policies that were against crimes.

Answer 2

Many streams of the late 1970s conservative politics joined and changed the United States in several ways. Blue-collar workers, Cold War hawks, Evangelicals and Catholics, businessmen, intellectuals and white southerners (all wings of the growing New Right), found a lack of representation in Liberalism and moved to the Republican Party. After many years of mobilization accompanied by Carter's catastrophic adminstration, Conservative ascendance took place with "The Reagan years" in 1980. During Reagan's first term, the recession saw an end: Inflation was controlled, taxes were reduced and Americans were hoping to improve their economical situation again.

The New Right was formed by Christian religious leaders, important Conservative businessmen, and fringe political groups. They distrusted government in general and were against state influence on personal behaviour. But the New Right also included an often evangelical faction determined to manipulate state power for its own convenience. This movement was in favour of hardline policies against crime, a solid national defense, a constitutional amendment to allow prayer in public schools, and it opposed to abortion.

Reagan, as a Conservative, supported many of these ideals and was supported by the New Right. In the eye of Americans, he represented an image of reassurance and stability. They complemented each other to achieve the rise of Conservatism.
