Jimmy Carter was born to a rich farmer family in rural Georgia in October 1924. Rural Georgia is comprised inside the deep south where slavery was once predominant causing it to be among the last strongholds of ethnic segregation, so Jimmy grew up in that segregationist culture, but he didn’t like it until he had many close black friends, formed his anti-segregationist stance for the rest of his life.

Carter first entered into politics when he became a Georgia state senator. He eventually wanted to try to become the Georgian governor, but he failed because he openly wanted segregation to end, so he lost. Carter didn’t give up on this first loss, he worked harder but with a different strategy, he became close to segregationist leaders making him look like a segregationist and causing him to be elected as Georgian governor. When he became governor he suddenly showed his desegregation side and made much legislation desegregating Georgia.

In the 1967 presidential election, Jimmy successfully became president mostly because of his not having been corrupted by Washington DC politics and other things.

Jimmy Carter did many good things as president, but sadly got many hard challenges that he cants solve. The hard challenges are like the 1970s recession, the reescalation with the Soviet Union because of USSR invading Afghanistan, and the worse was the Iranian Hostage Crisis where he cants successfully free American hostages in Iran for 444 days.

He was a bad president because he can’t deal rightly with the hard challenges he faced, but he was not a bad guy, even winning a Nobel Peace Prize.
