Richard Nixon is a president that’s accomplishments were all overlooked after the Watergate scandal but here are some of his accomplishments. He ended segregation in the south, revenue sharing, he ended the draft, made a lot of anti crime laws, and he started to end the cold war and started the process. He would have been considered one of the best presidents ever if it hadn’t been for the water gate scandal.
He was the only president to get a balanced national budget. He instituted the fair employment act which gave all colors males and females the same right to a job. He is responsible for the EPA. He fought against foreign oil prices and gouging. He tried for world stability which is next to impossible to do. He settled problems with many countries like China and U.S.S.R. He made a treaty to settle nuclear warfare. He made an agreement with French Indochina. He was the president when we landed on the moon. He introduced china to a new type of government as well.
I think that Richard Nixon is a good president as you can see he did a ton of great things for our country. If he just wouldn’t have done the Watergate scandal he would be considered a great president. It’s a shame that he did that and he does deserve what he got.
