Jimmy Carter
The 39th President of the United States was in office from 1977 to 1981. Jimmy Carter was busy building his business when he became involved in the civil rights movement. He later moved on to politics and accomplished many things while in office. He created the Department of Energy and Department of Education and arranged the Camp David Accords, among other things. Sadly, his term coincided with unforeseen events like the Iran Hostage Crisis and the Energy Crisis of 1979. This led to the public’s negative perception of him and he lost the 1980 presidential race to Ronald Reagan.
