By 1968, the Vietnam War had become increasingly unpopular in the United States, leading to widespread protests and a significant decline in President Lyndon B. Johnson's political support. The mounting casualties and the perception of a lack of progress in the war fueled public discontent, which was reflected in the 1968 Democratic National Convention's turmoil. As a result, Johnson chose not to seek re-election, marking a pivotal moment in American politics and the anti-war movement. This shift ultimately influenced U.S. foreign policy and public perception of governmental authority.
