Johnson was actually carrying out what was called the Truman Doctrine (after President Harry Truman) who advocated the containment of communism. Johnson's approach was a gradually increasing military involvement which was known as escalation. His purpose was simply to prevent communist North Vietnam from taking over non-communist South Vietnam. And certainly, he had Congressional support. Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution to support him.
