Answer:

1- Johnson named "The Great Society" as his ambitious domestic agenda. The most dramatic aspects of his plan included providing assistance to underprivileged Americans, controlling natural resources and protecting American consumers. There were environmental legislation, landmark land management initiatives, the highly influential Immigration Act, bills creating a National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for Humanities, a Highway Safety Act, the Public Broadcasting Act, and a bill offering some protection for customers against shoddy goods and unsafe products.

To order to resolve problems of disparity to education, large sums of money were poured into universities to finance some students and programs, and into federal funding for elementary and secondary education, in particular to offer remedial services to poorer districts.

Johnson secured the passage of a bill creating a Department of Housing and Urban Development to deal with growing issues in urban areas, and named Robert Weaver, the cabinet's first African American, to head it.

2- LBJ's call on the nation to wage a war on poverty arose from the ongoing concern that America had not done enough to provide socioeconomic opportunities for the underclass.To remedy this situation, President Kennedy commissioned a domestic program to alleviate the struggles of the poor. Within six months, the Johnson task forces had come up with plans for a "community action program" that would establish an agency—known as a "community action agency" or CAA—in each city and county to coordinate all federal and state programs designed to help the poor. Overall government funding devoted to the poor increased greatly. In this 1964 day, the U.S. In a nationally televised White House ceremony, President Lyndon B. Johnson signs the landmark Civil Rights Act into law.

In the 1954 landmark case Brown v. Education Board, U.S. Supreme Court held that racial segregation is illegal in schools. The following 10 years saw tremendous success for the African American Civil Rights movement as non-violent protests gained thousands of supporters for the cause.

3- Soon, the worsening Vietnam War dominated the presidency of Johnson. Press critics blasted over the handling of the conflict by his administration, and demonstrations against the war sprung up on college campuses and in major cities. By 1968, Vietnam had more than 500,000 U.S. troops and there seemed to be no end in sight. When the next presidential campaign was gearing up, Democrats were divided into four factions, underlining the diminishing influence of Johnson over the Party. His approval rating dropped to 36 per cent. When Johnson left office in January 1969, peace talks in Vietnam were underway, but it would take another four years before the United States was completely out of the war-torn country.
