Chapter 26, The Triumph of Conservatism, 1969-1988, assignment help

Directions: Read Chapter 26 of Foner’s Give Me Liberty!,
watch the video segments on Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan, and
read/watch the links pertaining to the Kent State University protests on
May 4, 1970. Then answer the following questions in your original post:

How did the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal affect the peoples’
trust in the U.S. government? What specific incident(s) do you think
had the greatest impact on public perception? Do you think Ford, Carter,
and Reagan helped people re-gain trust in the government? Why or why
not?

Be sure to cite the references below & evidence/ page numbers and chapters in both posts.

In your reply, find a student who agreed with your position on the
event that most greatly impacted public perception and make a case for
how the other event (the Vietnam War or Watergate) made a greater
impact.
