Did you mean "Why did the Middle East country hold Americans hostage for 444 days?"
Jimmy Carter himself was never taken hostage, but the Iran Hostage Crisis occurred during his presidency.
52 US citizens were held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981, after a group of Islamist students and militants took over the Embassy of the United States in support of the Iranian Revolution. This was the Iran hostage crisis. Carter sent a delat team but the mission was aborted because an airplane struck another aircraft. Bad press allways did the thing but there were other things that did worse in Carter's image.
Well I've never been one, but if you were held hostage, you would most likely be terrified.
Being held hostage; when it's for money etc. it's called being held for ransom
