The "turbulent" 60s. Remember The Beatles song: "Ya say ya wanna have a Revolution..."
History has chosen both the 19th & 20th "60s" to be Americas worst times.
1. Two presidents shot in both 60s (Lincoln & Kennedy)
2. A divided nation in both 60s (Civil War & Vietnam)
3. Civil Rights movements in both 60s (Emancipation Proclamation (Civil War) & Martin Luther King (Vietnam War).
4. Draft riots in both 60s (Civil War & Vietnam)
5. And by a strange coincidence both assassinated presidents were replaced by a vice president named JOHNSON.
