Reagan was elected president in 1980 on a platform of conservative principles that promised to reduce the size and scope of government, cut taxes, and increase military spending. His policies, which became known as the Reagan Revolution, had a profound impact on American society. Reagan's tax cuts stimulated economic growth, but they also led to a widening gap between the rich and the poor. His cuts to social programs hurt the most vulnerable members of society. And his military buildup contributed to the Cold War arms race.

The Reagan Revolution was a controversial period in American history. Reagan's policies were praised by some for restoring economic growth and strengthening the military. But others criticized his policies for exacerbating inequality and hurting the poor. The Reagan Revolution continues to be debated today, and its legacy is still being felt.
