Veterans of WWII Clear enemy Moral ? War Educated on the GI Bill Their sons and daughters Products of the 50’s Living the good life in the ‘burbs

Freedom Riders End of segregation Assassination of a president Women’s rights: birth control Urban Riots: Watts, Toledo, Milwaukee, Newark, Detroit (22 cities) Migrant farm workers Red Power

Federal programs to “improve” American lives Civil rights act Equal Opportunity Act Elementary and Secondary Education Act Medicare and Medicaid Voting Rights Act National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities Higher Education Act Highway Safety Act BUT: Cost HUGE sums of money…SO DID VIETNAM ($21 Billion in by 1967) Great Society programs slashed or eliminated due to war cost

Advisors predict that withdrawal and escalation are equally bad…LBJ escalates Increase in troops in S Vietnam Little effect: North Vietnamese resupply through Ho Chi Minh trail Attrition tactic Increase in air war Little effect: 30,000 miles of tunnels; moved supplies via bicycles, carts; resupplied by China and USSR Herbicide on jungle

Monthly draft calls: 50,000 in 1967 Inequities Middle class youth and college students = more deferments Military units saw more than 50% minorities

Nixon policy Troop withdrawals 1969 Strengthen S Vietnamese armed forces Increase bombing in Cambodia and Laos also Against protestors Felt most Americans believed in war = silent majority

First time so many saw so much… “…death and war and pain and suffering comes right to you…” Vice President Hubert Humphrey 1967 Does coverage generate support (hawks) or opposition (doves)?
