LBJ will be remembered for his "Great Society," a goal to free the US from poverty, enact Civil Rights laws to end discrimination and increase the right to vote among minorities, increase education in the nation, and provide a program to help citizens obtain affordable health care through the program that became known as medicare. Unfortunately, he will also be remembered as trying the accomplish the goals of the Great Society while fighting an unpopular war in Vietnam, which caused a tremendous increase in government spending and split the nation into doves and hawks regarding the war.
