1965 to 1990-- the social movements of the late 60s and/or recent government programs represented the beginning of modern society

In arts and literature, sort of with Whitman, but more clearly in the early 1900s: the death of Queen Victoria, the muckrackers, The Jungle, the Progressive Era. Post-1945 is considered Post-Modern: the nuclear age.

But if we mean Modern Presidents, the answer wouldn't go far back.
