Presentation transcript:

The First Unelected President

Information -Gerald Rudolph Ford enters whitehouse in August 1974. -He was considered a dimwitted college football player and was selected not elected vice president ((air of illegitimacy). -He pardons Nixon for any crimes committed as president, hurting his chances of being elected president in 1976.

Information -At first Ford Sought to advance Nixon’s détente. -July 1975- Helsinki Finland- Joined 34 leaders to sign historic records. WWII officially ends by legitimising soviet poland and Russia promises liberal exchanges of people and promises to protect basic human rights. -This was thought to be a milestone for detente, but in America, it was considered a one way street. American resources and technology was sent abroad with little in return and soviets continue to violate human rights. -Leads to punitive restrictions on US-Soviet trade Bill and Ford, who clung to détente refuses to say the word after Moscow’s Double dealing.

Source 1 O- Cold War C- It shows Gerald ford pardoning Nixon though the shadow of watergate pulls him. P-TO show that Ford wanted to Pardon Nixon for the greater evils of watergate V- We can see the negative view of watergate indicating that ford’s pardon would hurt his image. L-We don’t see that Ford was the one who gave the pardon.

Source 2 O-Cold War C- Shows the Hand of the American people shaking the soviet hand handcuffed to the people. P-This represents that though the soviets promise to enforce human rights with détente, they continue to violate the rights of the people. V-We can see how détente was more in theory than practice for Russia. L-Missing the word détente so we know what it is talking about.

Source 3 O- Cold War C- Shows Gerald Ford as the coach of a football team “my guys” P- Shows how Ford was viewed as a dimwitted college football player and was illegitimate for presidency. V- With the clothes and terminology we can see the view America had of FOrd L- We don’t get a feel for why he is viewed this way.

Comparison and Contrast Source 1 and Source 3 Compare -Both source 1 and source 3 involve Gerald Ford. -Both source 1 and source 3 are political Cartoons. -Source 1 suggests that Gerald Ford would be viewed negatively for pardoning Nixon of what they considered terrible. Similarly, Source 3 suggests that Gerald Ford is viewed negatively as a dimwitt college football player. Contrast -Source 3 gives general American thoughts about Gerald Ford While Source 1 gives reasoning for why Americans may View Gerald Ford negatively. -Source 3 is in color while source 1 is in black and white. -Source 1 involves Nixon while Source 3 does not. -Source 1 displays Ford almost as flustered while source 3 displays Ford as standing firmly.

Question Do you think Americans view of Gerald Ford was justified? Why/ why not? Should Americans have upheld détente after Russia didn’t? Why/ why not?
