Briefly describe how ONE change in United States politics in the 1960s and/or 1970s contributed to Ronald Reagan’s victory in the 1980 presidential election.
By the 1970s, many Americans grew disillusioned with liberal policies and the cultural and protest movements of the 1960s
· Many long-time Democratic voters in the South shifted their allegiances to new conservative Republican candidates during the 1960s and 1970s.
· New conservative critiques of the expanded welfare and regulatory state and the liberal programs associated with the Great Society contributed to the splintering of the long-time Democratic coalition,
the urban, and mostly northern, centers became Democratic while the South, which had long been Democratic, and the West became predominately Republican.
· The migration of many White middle-class Americans to the Sunbelt region of the South and West during the 1960s and 1970s helped establish a new political base for the conservative movement of “middle Americans,” or the “silent majority.”
· The association of the Democratic administrations with the foreign policy missteps in Vietnam and anti-war student protests
new conservatives became increasingly adept at spreading their ideologies
