President Johnson did NOT like the Vietnam War; He didn't like to talk about it, he didn't want to hear about it, and he didn't want "...to send American Boys to fight a war that Asian Boys should be fighting..." to quote one of his televised broadcasts. Johnson wanted to concentrate on HOME MATTERS; primarily his "Great Society." Vietnam angered him so much, he refused to remain President of the United States after his first term expired.

President Johnson was a (southern) democrat while Congress was Republican. The difference in views got in the way, and there were many disagreements. Johnson vetoed a lot of bills (that congress wanted to pass) which would have helped the African Americans gain rights and freedom. Johnson was not for reconstruction and he didn't want to free the slaves. This is one reason why Johnson was impeached-because congress strongly disliked him.
