Richard Nixon

Nixon became the resurgence of the Republican party after the defeats of the previous Democrat presidents. In his presidency, he ended the draft, made new environmental incentives, anti crime laws, and revenue sharing. In 1969, under his office, America set foot on the moon, which is also notable. Nixon took up the end of the sixties, as he was only president in one year of it (1969). He is perhaps most famous for his “The Silent Majority” speech, in which he put forth flexible plans for the end of the war. Within the year, American soldiers had been withdrawn and the ceasefire had held.
