More DescriptionGrowing up on a farm in Georgia, Jimmy Carter developed the traits that would one day lead him to a successful career in the navy and in politics.Carter won the offices of state senator, governor, and eventually president based on his character and down-to-earth beliefs.His biggest goal during his presidency was that of restoring peace in the Middle East.Despite helping establish peaceful relations between Egypt and Israel, Carter is often remembered only for his inability to free American hostages in Iran.Since his presidency, he has worked around the world helping to end disease, to monitor elections, and to build homes for Habitats for Humanity--activities that won him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
