4 The Conservative Tide - Challenges to the nation s moral fiber in the 70s-80s led to the founding of religious organizations that supported conservative positions on political, social & moral issues. - Supreme Court rulings = outlawed prayer in school & allowing abortion. - Civil & women s rights movement. - Sexual revolution - Fundamentalist televangelists founded churches & educational institutions & used the power of television to raise money to support them. Jerry Falwell Benny Hinn

5 The Conservative Tide - Conservative political organizations: Moral Majority & the Christian Coalition supported moral candidates, such as Ronald Reagan. - He opposed abortion, took pro-family positions & opposed the increasing role of the welfare state.

6 The Conservative Tide - End of Cold War = result of changes within the Soviet Union as well as the strain of the arms race on the Soviet economy : Mikhail Gorbachev = leader of USSR he advocated glasnost (openness) & perestroika (economic restructuring). - Fall of Berlin Wall (1989) = marked Cold War s end. - U.S. became the world s only superpower. - U.S. had responsibility for maintaining world peace in the face of regional conflicts, but also aroused resentment.

7 The 1990s & the New Millennium - U.S. influenced the Middle East = vast oil resources & U.S. dependence on it : Pres. George H.W. Bush led the world against Iraq s invasion of Kuwait. - 1st Persian Gulf War (1991): U.S. led coalition = quick military victory that restored Kuwait s independence.

8 The Middle East

9 The 1990s & the New Millennium - U.S. withdrawal from Iraq did not alter the Middle East s balance of power. - U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia angered religious fanatics. - Fanatics joined religious fundamentalists groups, (i.e. Taliban = drove Soviets from Afghanistan) & formed terrorist groups (i.e. al Qaeda).

10 The 1990s & the New Millennium - Clinton administration: continued to support Israel & working diplomatically to resolve the Middle East s problems - Occupied territories & rights of the Palestinian people. - Some initial success until hardliners in Israel & in the PLO gained power & negotiations stalled.

11

12 The 1990s & the New Millennium - U.S. continued to monitor & control Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq, the Taliban in Afghanistan & a growing terrorism. - Attacks: World Trade Center (1993), USS Cole, & U.S. embassies in Africa signaled the rise of global terrorism.

13 The 1990s & the New Millennium - 9/11/01: al Qaeda attacks = World Trade Center (NYC) & Pentagon (Wash D.C.) - 3rd attack, Flight 93, was stopped by passengers = crashed in PA. - U.S. invaded Afghanistan, & overthrew the Taliban government. - May 2011 = U.S. eliminated al Qaeda s leader, Osama bin Laden.

14 The 1990s & the New Millennium - George W. Bush s administration believed that Saddam Hussein (Iraq) had weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) Iraq invasion (U.S., Great Britain & a others) = overthrew Hussein & brought democracy to that country. - No WMDs were found. - Saddam Hussein was captured, tried for crimes against humanity & executed.

15 The 1990s & the New Millennium - U.S. intervention = overthrew Hussein s Sunni-dominated gov t & election of a new more democratic government. - Did not result in peace. - Militias attacked U.S. forces until our withdrawal from Iraq (Dec 2011). - Middle East continues to be in turmoil.

16 Economics of the 90s & 00s.

19 The United States in Today s World - Clinton & Republican Congress fought over how to balance the budget & stimulate the economy. - Federal Reserve = kept inflation in check & stimulated the economy by managing interest rates. - Resulted in economic growth = low unemployment; but the gap between rich & poor (income polarization) continued to widen. - Nation s debt lessened as the world experienced the end of the Cold War & the peace dividend.

20 The United States in Today s World - George W. Bush administration: tax cuts for the wealthy to stimulate the economy = further increased economic disparity. - Involvement in Afghanistan & Iraq = defense spending climbed = U.S. experienced deficit spending & escalating debt s = European Union (E.U.) founded to provide political cooperation, promote trade, & the develop Europe s economy (common currency).

21 The United States in Today s World - North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) attempted to increase trade by eliminating trade barriers (political controversy over economic impact) : GATT (General Agreement of Tariffs & Trades) lowered tariffs around the world to increase trade = U.S. industries experienced greater competition. - Some jobs were created by NAFTA, but others were lost. - Outsourcing resulted in economic hardship for some U.S. workers. - Mechanization & globalization = loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs & a shift to jobs in service industries. - Influx of immigrants increased problem = willing to work menial jobs for low wages.

22 The United States in Today s World - Labor unions: membership decline & loss of influence = workers faced overseas competition, new immigrants, & manufacturing mechanization. - Demographic changes affected the economy. - Industries & retirees moved from the rustbelt to the sunbelt. - Big population shift impacted influence of labor unions as well as national politics = move to right to work states.

23 The United States in Today s World - Medical advances prolonged productivity & life for Americans = added to Social Security s burden. - Growing need for services = day care for children & elderly care. - Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare ) was passed by Democratic congress & Pres. Obama (March 2010).
