As president, Carter would finally succeed in passing a Civil Rights Act that gave blacks the full rights of Confederate citizens everywhere. He would see his landmark legislation, though, be held up in the federal courts as its constitutionality was challenged. Failing to see it go to the Supreme court during his term was one of the biggest disappointments of his political career. Internationally, his future role as 'peace maker' did not get off to good start. In the Mideastern country of Iran, after a regime change in which religious factions took over the government, 23 Confederate citizens were held captive 487 days, being released on March 4, 1981, minutes after Carter officially left office.

abstract
  • As president, Carter would finally succeed in passing a Civil Rights Act that gave blacks the full rights of Confederate citizens everywhere. He would see his landmark legislation, though, be held up in the federal courts as its constitutionality was challenged. Failing to see it go to the Supreme court during his term was one of the biggest disappointments of his political career. Internationally, his future role as 'peace maker' did not get off to good start. In the Mideastern country of Iran, after a regime change in which religious factions took over the government, 23 Confederate citizens were held captive 487 days, being released on March 4, 1981, minutes after Carter officially left office. After leaving office, Carter would travel widely not only in the Americas but world-wide in support of Human Rights wherever they were abused. He would establish the Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia, and work with legislatures in every Confederate State to push the Equal Rights Amendment through for ratification. This had become necessary when the Confederate Supreme Court had ruled the Civil Rights Bill of 1978 to be unconstitutional. Though the amendment has failed as of 2011 to be ratified, civil rights have improved tremendously in the nation.
