    1 FRISCO HERITAGE TIMES Heritage Association of Frisco 8/1/2020 Edition 2, Volume 8 Researching, Preserving, and Sharing Frisco’s Rich History www.friscoheritage.org FRISCO’S 8TH DECADE 1970-1979 The 70s in Frisco The 1970s began in America where the 1960s left off—a nation at war abroad and civil unrest at home. Turmoil over the expanding Vietnam War escalated in May 1970 when 13 students protesting the war at Kent State University in Ohio were shot by members of the National Guard. Four of the students died and the tide of public opinion turned against the war. The break-out stars of the 60s, the British Fab Four— The Beatles—broke up in 1970. Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned on October 10, 1973 over allegations that he had accepted kickbacks and bribes as Governor of Maryland and in his position as vice president. At that time, the House Minority Leader, Gerald R. Ford, was nominated by President Richard M. Nixon to fill the role of Vice President. Ford was confirmed first by the Senate and then by the House becoming Vice President in December 1973. The Watergate Scandal in 1972 would ultimately cause President Nixon to resign from office effective at noon on August 9, 1974 rather than go through an impeachment. When Nixon resigned, Ford was sworn in as the 38th President of the United States at 12:05 p.m. becoming the only unelected president in US history. In 1976 America celebrated its Bicentennial with a birthday party from sea to shining sea.
