Answer:
The Great Society ideals seemed inconsistent with the escalating war in Vietnam
Explanation:
Political Leaders on the left are primarily Doves (Anti-War/Pro-Peace) so, if you are esclating a war in Vietnam to gain the rights for freedoms of people in Saigon while an African American still has to pay a poll tax to vote how can you reconcile the two?
It changed when some of them entered the armed forces as medics or nurses. But the African Americans changed when Americans saw how much they wanted to fight for a country that didn't give them their freedom.
