Really good background on Ronald Reagan. It's very helpful how you included information on his early life as well. Yo could have included more information on what he did in his political career though.
ReplyDeleteGood overview of Reagan before he was president. In his presidency Reagan also made a lot of changes such as a reduction in funding for welfare and Reaganomics
ReplyDeleteI agree with both my classmates! I like how you included some background knowledge and things we didn't necessarily go over in class! I can tell you researched him and didn't just use your class notes! Good job!
ReplyDeleteI think that this post was a little bit too brief, but you did include some interesting details about his home life. I want to know what you think of him, and maybe how this home life could have effect the way that he used politics. Do you think that coming from a small town helped to increase his likability? Is that what gave him the reliability and appearance of a man who was honestly just like the american public.
