C. Literature
Homer was a Greek poet who wrote works such as the Iliad and the Odyssey. <span />
'Common Sense’ transformed American politics by denouncing monarchy as being incompatible with liberty. It argued for independence from England and the creation of a democratic republic where people’s freedoms and liberties were respected. As a result, it encouraged common people to call for the creation of an egalitarian society
D~Because the people grew tired so they went against the war
1. Many make the argument that Richard Nixon was the last "liberal" Republican president, considering opening up of trade and signing into law massive environmental policies.
2. Many consider FDR to be the moment that the Democratic party switched from a more agrarian conservative party to the modern "liberal" party that it is today. As I mentioned with your other question, this occurred after Progressives that had split after Teddy Roosevelt last found their new home in the Democratic party. A similar drift would occur as Richard Nixon used the Southern Strategy to peel southern Democrats away and towards the new Republican party
3. Many consider Ronald Reagan to be the first true modern conservative President. Reagan embraced many of the tenets of the failed Goldwater presidential run and is still hailed as the gold standard for Conservative presidents.
4. Many consider Lyndon Johnson to be our most reliably liberal presidents. Johnson took the New Deal programs and expanded them with his "War on Poverty" but his legacy was ultimately complicated by the war in Vietnam.
