What controversial topics did first lady betty ford speak

Elizabeth Anne Ford was the First Lady of the United States from 1974 to 1977, as the wife of President Gerald Ford. As First Lady, she was active in social policy and set a precedent as a politically active presidential spouse.

Explanation:

She was - after Eleanore Roosevelt - the first politically active First Lady, very outspoken on a number of social issues - on which she held liberal views. She was pro-choice, a feminist, passionately supported equal rights for women, and was a strong supporter of better gun control measures.

After an intervention by her family she not only faced her alcoholism, but went public with her struggles with alcohol and prescription medicine and became the founder of the still-famous Betty Ford clinic.

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)
