Watergate is the biggest political scandal in American history. It led to a major setback for the Republican Party, especially as they lost many seats in Congress in the 1974 midterm elections. Watergate dramatically increased cynicism and distrust of the federal government, which had already been on the rise due to its lies revolving around the Vietnam War. #watergate #ushistory #apush
