Question

What were the long-term consequences of the 1968 election?

Answer 1

The Vietnam war was pushed to new limits, Richard Nixon told the people of the United States that they were close to ending the war and wrapping it up. But it was quite the opposite, we were stuck in a war we did not know how to win, with a president who did not understand how to get out of it or win it. We were bombing the Vietnamese daily for no reason, wasting our supply. The American people were being lied to and had to suffer for a term almost.
