Explanation:
This question refers to the War in Vietnam. By 1965, the United States was reluctant about the idea of fully committing to the war in Vietnam. However, the involvement of the United States in the war continued to grow, as that same year, the number of American combatants grew from 50,000 to 100,000. This process of increased involvement was known as the "Americanization" of the war.
Those who disliked the idea of increased involvement generally did so because they believed that the payoff would be too small compared to the risk and cost of getting involved. However, Commanding General Westmoreland and Secretary of Defense McNamara disagreed.
They believed that the most important mission of the United States was to halt the spread of communism. Therefore, they thought that, under no circumstances should the Viet Cong be allowed to win. To this purpose, McNamara published his "Program of Expanded Military and Political Moves with Respect to Vietnam." This suggested that a victory of the Viet Cong would be impossible as long as the United States became fully involved in the war.
The "great act" referred to by Senator Sumner in this excerpt is "The addition of Hiram Rhodes Revels to the U.S. Senate."
What Senator Charles Sumter said in 1870 was the following: "All men are created equal, says the great Declaration and now a great act attests this verity. Today we make the Declaration a reality. ... The Declaration was only half established by Independence. The greatest duty remained behind. In assuring the equal rights of all we complete the work."
Hiram Revels became the first African American to enter the Senate of the United States Congress when the Republicans supported him on February 25, 1870.
