President Johnson and The Great Society Essential Question: In what ways did Johnson’s Great Society change the nation?

Johnson Becomes President Nov 22nd 1963 2:38PM Johnson took the oath of office. “A nation stunned, shaken to its very heart, had to be reassured that the government was not in a state of paralysis…that the business of the United States would proceed. I knew that not only the nation but the whole world would be anxiously following every move I made – watching, judging, weighing, balancing, …It was imperative that I grasp the reins of power and do so without delay. Any hesitation or wavering, any false step, any sign of self-doubt, could have been disastrous.” -Johnson

Lyndon Baines Johnson From Texas 26 years of Congressional experience Striking contrast with Kennedy’s style The “Johnson Treatment”

War on Poverty Motivations: personal history and legacy In his state of the Union address he announces that his administration will declare an “unconditional war on poverty in America.” Economic Opportunity Act Neighborhood Youth Corps Job Corps VISTA

The Great Society 60 Programs Health: Medicare (health insurance for elderly) and Medicaid (health insurance for poor) Education: Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Head Start Program, Upward Bound Created Department of Housing and Urban Development Immigration Reform Act

Legacy of the Great Society Lack of funding Growth of government Programs that still exist Important questions raised: How can the gov’t help economically disadvantaged citizens? How to help without weakening private sector? How to help without creating dependent citizens?
