Jimmy Carter, the 39th U.S. President, died yesterday in Plains, Georgia, as the oldest former president in U.S. history.
A peanut farmer from Georgia, Carter rose through the political ranks quickly to become governor and then president, defeating Gerald Ford in 1976.
His presidency from 1977 to 1981 saw achievements like the Camp David Accords but was overshadowed by economic challenges and the Iran hostage crisis. Carter revamped his image post-presidency, becoming a champion for humanitarian causes and receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
Carter began receiving hospice care in February 2023 and celebrated his 100th birthday this past October.
