Ronald Reagan's victory in the 1980 presidential election marked a watershed moment
in the history of the United States, heralding the triumph of the American conservative
movement. Once a supporter of the New Deal, Reagan had come to symbolize the union
of three diverse forms of conservatism--anti-communism, social traditionalism, and
libertarianism--that were increasingly intertwined under the banner of the Republican
Party. The unlikely development of this new conservative coalition was based upon
the larger impacts of the civil rights movement in reshaping the dynamics of the Democratic
and Republican parties, the social "backlash" of the Nixon era, the emergence of the
religious right, and the economic and political crises that directly set the stage
for Reagan's stunning victory. In five original, engaging chapters, The 1980 Presidential
Election shows how Reagan's journey to the White House was connected to the wider
transformations of post-1945 American history. Supplemented by a fresh collection
of primary documents--including previously unpublished transcripts of Reagan's radio
addresses of the late-1970s--this book is an ideal introduction to the origins and
impact of the American conservative movement
