Jimmy Carter
Jimmy Carter was in office from 1977 to 1981 as the 39th President. Amazingly enough, Jimmy Carter got into the political world after realizing his passion for the civil rights movement and equality for all. Growing up, Jimmy lived on a peanut farm, helping his family run their successful business. Carter had his fair share of crises while in office, most notably the 1979 Energy Crisis and the Iran Hostage Crisis. Jimmy Carter is another President who achieved amazing results in such a short period of time; he was behind the Camp David Accords, leading Egypt and Israel to a peace treaty, and he created both the Department of Education and the Department of Energy. Although he did lose the 1980 election to Ronald Reagan, he ended up winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his NGO The Carter Center. His popularity is attributed to his moral authority and for perusing equal justice for all American citizens.
