Iran prisoners released
Spearheaded the tearing down of the Berlin Wall.
Brought us from negative GDP growth in 1980 to the largest growth we've ever had since 1951.
Brought us from 7.2% unemployment in 1980 to 5.3% by the end of 1988 (lowest since 1973).
Brought inflation down from 13.3% in 1979 (the highest we had seen since 1946, and still the highest to date since then) to 4.4% in 1988.

And you know what, he brought a ton of confidence to the country as a whole. The 80s was an extremely HIGH point overall in America and in people achieving the "American dream", a confidence Jimmy Carter certainly could never bring about with his negative depressed air about him.
