In the election of 1976, Americans were looking for a remake from the Watergate scandal and the rough Vietnam years that dominated national news for the more than a decade. The nation elected a man who was seen initially as a pioneer to lead the country to a new level of prosperity. He would end up as one of the most controversial presidents in the nation’s history.
