The Conservative Sixties

The Conservative Sixties

The Conservative Sixties tells Â«the other storyÂ» of America in the era of left-wing protests, countercultural experiments, and a civil rights revolution. Ten original historical essays focus on Phyllis Schlafly, Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater, the John Birch Society, the Minutemen, Â«Moral Mothers and Goldwater GirlsÂ», Â«Cowboy ConservativesÂ», Â«National Politics versus Community InterestÂ», Â«Below-the-Belt PoliticsÂ», and the Â«Politics of Law and OrderÂ». The Conservative Sixties demonstrates that throughout the 1960s, right-wing activists organized at the grass-roots, re-thought their priorities, discovered new allies, and prepared to defeat liberals in the political and cultural arenas. This history of the 1960s puts the presidencies of Ronald Reagan, George H. Bush, and George W. Bush â€“ as well as the conservative turn of Congress and the American people â€“ into historical perspective.
