liraira [26]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

As every single presidential term in the United States, Jimmy Carter had his ups and downs, positives and negatives.

Among the positive things, Carter opposed racial segregation, supported civil rights movements, established the Department of Education and the Department of Energy, supported legislation to conserve energy in the country, played a key role in the Camp David Accords to establish peace in the Middle East, and supported the signing of SALT II, as well as to give the operation of the Panama Canal to Panama´s government.

On the negative side, one of his first decisions that resulted controversially was to pardon the draft evaders of the Vietnam War. A decision that was questioned by many. He found it difficult to deal with stagflation, high unemployment rates, limited economic growth, he had to deal with the energy crisis at the end of his presidency, and also with the Iran hostage crisis. And one of the tensest moments, the Soviet Union invasion of Afghanistan.
