History
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Because Johnson was thinking in terms of conventional warfare.  He thought that because his army was larger, his air force was tougher and better trained, his navy was massively larger, the equipment provided to his troops infinitely better, there would be no contest.

He did not understand 2 things about Vietnam.

1. He forgot that the Vietnamese had been fighting the French (and beating them). The French in effect had changed the Vietnamese into battle hardened soldiers.

2. The Vietnamese fought a guerrilla style of warfare. The came the delivered hard jabs and disappeared into the night. Conventional war tools don't easily adapt to that kind of warfare.

The Baton Rouge bus boycott of 1953 had a lasting impact on the civil rights movement in Louisiana. In one paragraph, describe b
charle [14.2K]

Answer:African Americans in Baton Rouge organized the first large-scale boycott of a southern city’s segregated bus system. When the leader of the boycott, Rev. T. J. Jemison, struck a deal with the city’s leadership after five days without gaining substantial improvements for black riders, many participants felt Jemison capitulated too quickly. However, the boycott made national headlines and inspired civil rights leaders across the South. Two and a half years later, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. conferred with Jemison about tactics used in Baton Rouge, and King applied those lessons when planning the bus boycott that ultimately defeated segregation in Montgomery, Alabama, and drew major media attention to the injustices of Jim Crow laws.
