Already the longest-lived of the 45 men to serve as US president, Jimmy Carter is about to reach the century mark.
The 39th president, who remains under home hospice care, will turn 100 on Tuesday, Oct. 1, celebrating in the same south Georgia town where he was born in 1924.Booms most everywhere — but not Plains
That boom has not reached Plains, where Carter has lived more than 80 of his 100 years. His wife Rosalynn, who died in 2023 at age 96, also was born in Plains. It wasn't until the 1990s that networks settled on blue for Democratic-won states and red for GOP-won states."Red state" and"blue state" did not become a permanent part of the American political lexicon until after the disputed 2000 election between Al Gore and George W. Bush.
Inflation helped drive Carter from office, as it has dogged President Joe Biden. The average gallon in 1980, Carter's last full year in office, was about $3.25 when adjusted for inflation. That's just three cents more than AAA's current national average.The 19th Amendment that extended voting rights to women – almost exclusively white women at the time – was ratified in 1920, four years before Carter's birth.
Five months before Carter was born, President Calvin Coolidge signed the Immigration Act of 1924. The law created the US Border Patrol and sharply curtailed immigration, limiting admission mostly to migrants from western Europe. Asians were banned entirely. Congress described its purpose plainly:"preserve the ideal of US homogeneity." The Ku Klux Klan followed in 1925 and 1926 with marches on Washington promoting white supremacy.
