James Carter was born and raised in Plains, Georgia. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1946 and served in the Navy's submarine service. After his military career, he returned home to run his family's peanut farm. Carter opposed racial segregation and actively supported the civil rights movement. He became a prominent figure in the Democratic Party and served in the Georgia State Senate from 1963 to 1967. Later, he was the Governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975. Despite being a lesser-known candidate outside Georgia, Carter won the Democratic nomination and narrowly defeated the incumbent Republican President, Gerald Ford, in the 1976 presidential election. | |||
