Every night on TV we saw the war on the evening news ( notice you see nothing about our current war. That is no mistake). The reporters would show battles and men being shot. In 1968 it felt like the whole world was on fire. There were race riots, riots at the Democratic convention, and the war. The war was never a declared war by Congress and the largest draft in United States history took place in 1968.

What did the event of 1968 show about America view on politis?

The events of 1968, marked by widespread protests against the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, and political assassinations, revealed a deep disillusionment among many Americans regarding their government and political institutions. The tumultuous atmosphere highlighted the growing divide between traditional values and the demands for social justice and peace. As citizens rallied for change, it underscored a shift towards more activist engagement in politics, signaling a rejection of the status quo and a desire for a more inclusive democracy. Ultimately, 1968 demonstrated that Americans were increasingly willing to challenge authority and advocate for their rights and beliefs.

Was media a cause to why America pulled out troops from Vietnam?

Media would definitely be a reason that the country had a negative point of view of many events that took place in Vietnam. The reasons for pulling out of Vietnam tie to our troops being put into a dangerous situation for an extended period of time and the number of casualties being so high. There were nearly 17,000 KIA during 1968 alone and the US was involved in the war for 10 years. I have seen information that states Nixon pulled the troops due to the Vietnamese winning the war, but that could be the opinion of the author.
