One of the things that Ronald Reagan did while in office was end the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. Reagan had different ideas about the Cold War than most people did. He wanted to end the war in a peaceful way. It has been said by Michael Beschloss,a presidential historian, that if Reagan hadn't been elected president in the eighties then the Cold War might not have ended when it did and it could have turned out much worse for the United States.
Ronald Reagan had several qualities that made him a great president who will be remembered long after his death. He was a great leader and he was able to connect with the people in the counry well which made him very well liked. He made the people in America feel comfortable and safe. He was able to communicate well with people and get his ideas across. He had the presonality of a leader. One thing that made him a great leader was that he follwed through with the things that he said he would do and he believed in what he said and did.
Reagan created a lot of change during his presidency. He changed how people in the country saw conservatism. Before him people saw conservatives as people who didn't want change because they respected the old ways of things. After Reagan conservatives were seen in a very different way. He changed the government. he wanted a smaller government, a strong United States Army and lower taxes.
