Jimmy Carter
Jimmy Carter is the 39th President of the United States and he served from 1977 to 1981. He was born to a family of peanut farmers and he helped build up the business while fighting alongside the civil rights movement. This helped him launch a political career. Among other achievements during his administration, he launched both the Department of Energy and the Department of Education. He deserves credit for the Camp David Accords that led to the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty. During the C-SPAN survey, he scored high when it comes to both moral authority and pursuing equal justice. When he was in office, Carter had to deal with international crises like the Iran Hostage Crisis and the 1979 Energy Crisis. Having to handle these events negatively affected his public persona and this ended with him losing the 1980 presidential race to the Republican candidate Ronald Reagan. Nonetheless, Carter was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize for the efforts of his NGO, Carter Center.

Carter’s Peace Deal
In 1978, President Jimmy Carter brokered one of the most impressive peace deals in the Middle East. Former president of Israel Menachem Begin, and former Egyptian president Anwar Saddat signed a deal for peace under unique conditions. Israel returned the Sinai which they captured during the Yom Kippur war in 1973, and Egypt fully recognized Israel’s right to exist. Both parties were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
