Question

Explain the social, economic, and foreign policy goals of New Right conservatives from the 1960s to the 1980s and assess the degree to which the Reagan administration succeeded in implementing these goals in the 1980s.

Answer 1

The goals of these "new right" conservatives were mainly racial in the sense that they appealed to southern racists for votes. They were in part spurred on by Raegan, who desperately needed their votes.
