7. Intro 4 Why It Matters A reassessment of postwar developments marked the last three decades of the twentieth century. The Cold War ended and political boundaries were redrawn. The United States remained a global force, but the role of the federal government was diminished in the wake of scandal and a renewed conservatism. As the United States entered a new century, the nation continued to redefine itself. The country’s social diversity posed new challenges and provided new strength to the nation. Understanding the shifts of this period will help prepare you for your future.

8. Intro 5 Why It Matters Activity Write down one fact you know or opinion you have about the following presidents: President Reagan, President George H. W. Bush, President Clinton, and President George W. Bush. Share your statements with the class and have your classmates identify the statement as fact or opinion.
