NIXON

 One of the most recognizable and well-known presidents in the history of America was Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon was the president of the U.S.A. from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. Personally, I feel as though Richard Nixon was more negative towards America and it's people, during his presidency. One reason why he was more negative is because of his response to the situation of low American supplies that came from the war in the Arab nations, connected with the oil crisis. Many Americans were angry to see the prices of their everyday natural resources go up, as a result of this. Bread went from 28 cents to 89 cents, and gas went from 25 cents to 65 cents. Nixon was able to relax the tension that the average American citizen felt due to the ongoing Cold War. He did this through establishing a relationship with China, a communist nation. Nixon even referred to China by its real name, a huge step, and also by visiting China. Nixon was able to end the embargo that had been previously been in place between China and America. All in all i believe that ixon was a possitive ad negitive influence on america. i cant choose between either side, so i must stay neutral.
