Question

Why didn’t President Johnson want the United States to get more involved in the war in Vietnam?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C: going to war in Vietnam could hurt Johnson's social programs.

Explanation:

Lyndon Johnson was seeking to push forward a big series of social reforms called the Great Society. It consisted of programs against poverty, crime, and to improve education and medical care. Johnson argued this series of reforms would increase equality because everyone would have opportunities.

These initiatives had to be reduced because of Vietnam war efforts but continued through Republican presidents Richard Nixon (1969-1974) and Gerald Ford (1974-1977) and are until today important sources of federal education funding, older people's rights, and the right to health.
