Paige’s Notes:
LT: I can explain how the Vietnam War changed the
power of presidency during times of war.
Today, we took notes on the Vietnam War and worked on our
Vocabulary.
(1964) Gulf of Tonkin Resolution – congress gave LBJ the authority to escalate American
Involvement in Vietnam
My Lai – massacre of Vietnamese
civilians results in protests against U.S. military
Kent State – protestors are
killed during anti-war demonstration against U.S. military action in
Cambodia/Laos
New York Times v. U.S. – Supreme Court allows the
release of “The Pentagon Papers” which damage
the credibility of the war effort
Students lead protests (ex. SDS----Students for a
Democratic Society) against U.S. military involvement in Vietnam > want an end to the draft
Counter-culture of the “Hippies” emerge > rebels against American ideals and traditions, celebrates
rock-and-roll (ex. Woodstock) drug use,
sexual experimentation, communal living
The end of U.S. military action in Vietnam
(1973) Paris Peace Accords result in cease fire
agreement with the North Vietnamese withdrawal of U.S
troops
Prejudice – opinion about someone/something that is
not based on fact
Integrate/Integration – combine two things so that
they become one
