Jimmy Carter
As the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter served from 1977 to 1981. He was born and raised in the peanut farming business, and he entered politics while he was building up the family business. When he was POTUS, Carter formed the Department of Education and the Department of Energy. He is also created for the Camp David Accords, which led to the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty of 1979. C-SPAN reports that he did well when it comes to pursuing justice for all Americans and moral authority. During his term, he had to handle international controversies such as the Iran Hostage Crisis and the 1979 Energy Crisis. These events made the public lose trust in him, and he lost the 1980 presidential race to Ronald Reagan of the Republican Party. In 2002, he won the Nobel Peace prize for the efforts of the NGO, the Carter Center.
