PURPOSE: Understand Richard Nixon’s policies concerning the Vietnam War in 1969 Understand the main arguments of Vietnam veteran John Kerry and the Vietnam Veterans Against the War in 1971 Understand that civilians held a variety of opinions regarding the war

As you are watching the Nixon “Silent Majority” speech, answer the following: What did Nixon believe would be the consequences of immediate U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam? What specific events did Nixon cite to support his arguments against “precipitate troop withdrawal”? What is meant by the “Silent Majority”?

As you read the John Kerry testimony, answer the following: What did John Kerry believe about the alleged threat that North Vietnam posed to the United States?
