In Gil Troy's book "The Age of Clinton: America in the 1990s," readers are taken back to the years of Bill Clinton's presidency, which took place from January 20, 1993, until January 20, 2001. Gil Troy, a historian and professor, wrote about the journey to unravel the complexities of this era, offering an in-depth analysis of its political, cultural, and social dynamics. Through his very harsh examination, he aimed to shed light on the defining moments of the 1990s and their enduring impact on American society.

During the early 1960’s America faced a “rolling recession”, a recession that is focused on a few specific industries, which had hit the automobile industry particularly hard.

Thomas Howard was a Professor of English and Literature for over 30 years, he was considered a rising star in the Pentecostal Evangelical world until his conversion to Catholicism, his journey on changing denomination is highlighted in Evangelical Is Not Enough: Worship of God in Liturgy and Sacrament. Thomas Howard speaks to those longing for a deeper understanding, for example he himself found, that despite all the passionate zeal that he felt earlier in his life, there was still something missing, he discovered could only be found (much to his surprise) in the liturgy. Definitely the book is starkly against dropping the evangelical roots to one 's life, the book itself is not anti-evangelical in language. To further clarify the core strength
Unemployment rates began to increase. Over time, Reagan had increased taxes 11 times, mainly on the middle class. When Reagan had left office, he had tripled the national debt of United States.

The Baptists experience many doctrinal conflicts throughout history. There were always struggles over the theological differences against themselves and other people. The Baptist believed in religious liberty which allowed Christians freedom of his own conscience and not to be coerced by state and church. Because of this freedom, when they disagreed with each other in church, organizations and denominations they were free to move to another location to restart another organization. The Conservative Baptist movement reflects today a shift of understanding to moving forward sharing commitments and experiences.
The Rise of Ronald Reagan and Republican Conservatism Conservatism and liberalism are two of the most dominant political philosophies and ideologies during the post-Enlightenment era (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). As an ideology, conservatism served as a blueprint in the society which promoted the idea of retaining traditional social institutions, beliefs, cultures and discourage social changes.

It attempted to contain political corruption and greed.

In terms of no religious implication, Christianity, although not necessarily instituted as a religion, but as a way of life, still demands the constant living out of beliefs about of truth and
Literature Review Religion and Politics in American National Elections In a country where the concept of democracy, freethinking, and secular ideals are embraced and deeply embedded into its constitution, establishing a separation of church and state.
