President Richard Nixon appealed primarily to the "silent majority" in response to the growing antiwar movement during the Vietnam era. This group consisted of Americans who were not vocal in their opposition to the war and supported a more conservative agenda, including Law and Order and a strong military presence. Nixon sought to reassure this demographic that their views were valid and worthy of representation, contrasting them with the more visible antiwar protestors. His appeal aimed to unify this segment of the population as a counterbalance to the unrest and dissent surrounding the Vietnam War.
