Jimmy Carter and the Rise of Evangelical Voters | Retro Report

This 11-minute video shows students how evangelical Christians responded to the political and cultural trends of the 1960s and 70s by deepening their political engagement, and by increasingly aligning themselves with the nascent conservative movement of the 1970s. This new engagement produced one of the most transformative political developments of the last 50 years, and the video helps students link the role of evangelical voters in the presidencies of Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. Useful for exploring how the cultural and political movements of the 1960s activated countermovements in the 1970s and 1980s, the video helps students identify the broad trends of causation and continuity that gave rise to the current political landscape.
