Answer 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • Johnson believed that American credibility was at stake in Vietnam.


  • Faced with the choice of escalating U.S. involvement to prevent an NLF victory or withdrawing entirely from the country, Johnson escalated.


  • He believed he had to preserve a noncommunist South Vietnam or else face a debilitating backlash from Republicans.


  • Johnson portrayed the Gulf of Tonkin incident as one of unprovoked Communist aggression, and Congress expressed almost unanimous support through its Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.


  • With this expression of Congressional support, Johnson ordered American planes to begin bombing North Vietnam, and the first American combat troops into South Vietnam in March 1965.


  • In July, the administration added 100,000 more soldiers, with more to follow as necessary.



Answer 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:

  • Several programs focused on improving educational opportunities as an avenue out of poverty.


  • Johnson became the most vocal proponent of racial equality ever to occupy the Oval Office.


  • The 1964 Civil Rights Act made desegregation the law of the land.
