The 1970s (pronounced "nineteen-seventies"; commonly shortened to the "Seventies" or the "' 70s") was a decade that began on January 1, 1970, and ended on December 31, 1979.
- The Conservative Backlash. Many Americans, particularly working class and middle class whites, responded to the turbulence of the late 1960s–the urban riots, the antiwar protests, the alienating counterculture–by embracing a new kind of conservative populism.
- The Environmental Movement. In some ways, though, 1960s liberalism continued to flourish. For example, the crusade to protect the environment from all sorts of assaults–toxic industrial waste in places like Love Canal, New York; dangerous meltdowns at nuclear power plants such as the one at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania; highways through city neighborhoods–really took off during the 1970s.
- Fighting for Women’s Rights. During the 1970s, many groups of Americans continued to fight for expanded social and political rights. In 1972, after years of campaigning by feminists, Congress approved the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the Constitution, which reads: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”
- The Antiwar Movement. Even though very few people continued to support the war in Indochina, President Nixon feared that a retreat would make the United States look weak.
