[[Image:Carter.jpg|thumb|right]]
 
Jimmy Carter was the 39th [[President of the United States of America]] following [[Gerald Ford]] and preceding [[Ronald Reagan]]. He was a [[Democrat]] who served from 1977-1981, after being the Governor of Georgia. He is widely considered by conservatives to be among the worst presidents in history.  The inability of the American government to meet the challenges that were presented to the nation during his time in office helped lead to the election of [[Ronald Reagan]] in 1980 and the triumph of the modern conservative movement. Carter's presidency featured [[stagflation]], the energy crisis, the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union, and the taking of American citizens as hostages by [[Iran]]. He also supported the [[Equal Rights Amendment]].  Carter did successfully broker a peace agreement (the Camp David accords) between Israel and Egypt in 1979.  Carter personally opposed abortion but only recently, more than 25 years after his presidency, expressed his opposition in public.
