What did the Gulf of Tonkin resolution lead to?

History
1 answer:
djyliett [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: It allowed President Johnson to use military force in Vietnam without declaring war.

The major provision of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was authorization for the US President to do what he felt necessary to bring peace to Southeast Asia.

Detail:

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was a measure passed by US Congress that allowed the US President to make military actions, like increase troops, without formal declaration of war.  It led to huge escalation of US involvement in the Vietnam War. The resolution was passed by Congress in August, 1964, after alleged attacks on two US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin.  The key wording in the resolution said:

  • <em>Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.</em>

That resolution served as a blank check for President Johnson to send troops to whatever extent he deemed necessary in pursuance of the war.  Between 1964 and the end of Johnson's presidency in 1969, US troop levels in Vietnam increased from around 20,000 to over 500,000.

How does Lincoln use the metaphor of the wolf and the sheep to illustrate the difference between Northern and Southern (Union an
never [62]

Lincoln uses the metaphor of the wolf and the sheep to say that the Confederates had a different conception of freedom than those of the Union.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was one of the most prominent politicians in the history of the United States who served as the 16th President of the United States of America. He was a tireless leader of the states of the Union during the Civil War.

He is known for making a metaphor regarding the concept of freedom that the Confederate states and the states of the Union had because he considered that the Confederate states, like a wolf, had a conception of freedom that violated the freedom of others ( the sheep).

According to the above, it can be inferred that Lincoln refers to the Confederate States as the wolves of the Civil War because they wanted to impose slavery without thinking about the rights of slaves, while the States of the Union were the sheep because they wanted to. freedom for all.
