The Vietnam Years at Home Chapter 30, Lesson #3

Young People Protest War seemed to spilt country apart Anger grew as war grew For the war: “Killers” Against the war: “Traitors” Many wondered why US was in the war Led to counterculture: Movement that went against traditional American beliefs Ideas about personal success Clothes, music, beliefs

Students Protest the Draft All men are required to register for draft at 18 Many thought draft unfair: Not all wanted to fight in the war Some men (full time students) got deferments: temporary excuse from draft. Full time students - usually upper or middle class Lower or working class - could not afford college Unfair that the poor were drafted more than wealthy Some men became Conscientious Objectors (those who would not fight for moral or religious purposes) Some burned draft cards or fled from the US

Tet Offensive Tet – Vietnamese New Year January 31, 1968: North Vietnamese and VC launch major attacks Tet – Vietnamese New Year Attacked US embassy in Saigon, Hue City, Khe Sanh NVA and VC suffered heavy losses – US victory Many Americans angry at gov’t who said war was almost over Fewer people trusted Johnson administration

Johnson Faces Political Opposition Many politicians wanted to run against Johnson in next election Including Robert F. Kennedy (JFK’s brother) Johnson was concerned by anti-war movement Vowed to decrease bombing campaigns and not add more troops Also declared he would not run for president again in 1968

The Democratic Convention During election of 1968: Hubert Humphrey – democratic nominee for president Many anti-war democrats felt left out Humphrey was considered to be like Johnson Protestors clashed with police and democratic rally Violence from protest hurt candidacy

The Presidential Election of 1968 Many Americans wanted a return to law and order Looked for a candidate who would do that Richard Nixon – the Republican nominee Stood for law and order Represented conservatives who did not protest violently Wanted to end the war * Nixon won the election
