The "silent majority" were a group of American people that were supposed to support the USA in the Vietnam War, as compared to a large amount of vocal demonstrators that were protesting the war. After many years of fighting in Vietnam and seeing no end in sight, the vast majority of Americans wanted it to end, and for the the USA to leave the quagmire. Which they did in 1973, and South Vietnam fell to the communists in 1975.

What role did the silent majority play in the presidential election of 1972?
if he hasn't figured out he's a human by now, i don't think he ever will ~elf so to answer your question, there's two real answers one: if nixon didn't appeal to the silent majority in his silent majority speech of 1969, he never would have gotten re-elected. he knew that while protesting groups were against the vietnam war, the majority that were not as concerned with the hippie culture and politics etc, backed up his logic for stopping communism and allowing the war to continue. two: nixon's "silent majority" was a political slogan used to get people to think that the majority of american's were on his side. he made it sound as though there was a great majority of people who backed him up while in reality, most americans were looking for peace and a way out of the war, as they were when johnson was president. the "silent majority" had no influence in the election of 1972-- the only reason he was able to win was because in the midst of a war the people did not want to risk a shift in power.
