differing views on the achievements completed during Ronald Reagan’s presidency. While both historians do not seem to have liked president Ronald Reagan much, they base their suggestions about his presidency’s results on at least partially historically defensible claims.

Throughout his eight years in office, Reagan took strides to simplify legislation and push the American economy to heights it had never seen before, which by 1989 he had accomplished. While…

The Berlin Wall, built during the cold war, was a barrier with the purpose of keeping the allies and the Soviet Union away from each other. The wall kept some Germans from seeing what was really important and helped hold the grudge the Soviets and the Allies had with each other. Although The Berlin Wall was way more severe than the barriers people set in everyday life, they both serve the same purpose, to keep people from seeing what they do not want to see. While both Lion in “Goin’ Fishin’” by…

The 60s and 70s were a difficult time for the U.S. and the world as a whole. For a presidential candidate to make his mark during this time, he’d have to include important values and policies that will better the lives of those within the country.
