Conservativism and the Obama Phenomena
1980-the Present
"Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."
Ronald Reagan
Reagan caught everyone off guard.......since the Progressive Movement of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, solidified by FDR's New Deal and LBJ's Great Society, social programs basically began to run the country - and most of every facet of American lives.
Reagan and the Conservative Revolution changed that - or did it?
Soon after the Reagan presidency, the country shifted once again toward a more liberal, socialized approach until...
...the Obama Phenomena.
This week we will end our class discussions with how independent we were in the 18th-19th centuries, only to slowly become more and more dependent in the early 20th century to the present. What does this mean for America today?
What does it mean to you?
The FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE can be obtained here.
The 6th grade final will be on Wednesday, May 21st.
REMEMBER - you may recite the Declaration of Independence (either verbally or written), as an optional replacement! YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW THE SIGNERS OF THE DOCUMENT!
