The Silent Majority President Nixon wanted to win support for his war policies, so he appealed to the silent majority Moderate, mainstream Americans who quietly supported the Vietnam War

My Lai Massacre Lieutenant William Calley, Jr. was trying to locate Vietcong. When he didn’t find anything, he rounded up the villagers and shot them 200 women and children were killed Calley was eventually imprisoned for his actions.

Invasion of Cambodia On April 30, 1970, Nixon announced that the U.S. had invaded Cambodia in an attempt to find Vietcong hideouts

Students Speak Out 1.5 million college students protested the invasion Due to these demonstrations, about 1,200 campuses closed

Kent State University Riot In response to the invasion, the students at KSU burned the ROTC building The Mayor called in the National Guard, who opened fire on the students. Nine were wounded and killed 4, two of which were innocent bystanders.

Jackson State Riots Guardsmen confronted bottle- wielding rioters The Guards shot into the crowd, wounding 12 and killing two innocent bystanders

Popular Opinion and the Pentagon Papers Polls indicated that the people generally supported the Guardsmen Around this time, the Pentagon papers emerged They were papers written for Defense Secretary McNamara Proved that the Government had planned to go to war even after Nixon had pledged to keep them out of war.
