However, Johnson was not just a ghost of Kennedy and he had his own agenda, which he manifested in his Great Society campaign.Thus, he was able to get almost any bill he wanted passed through Congress (including such iconic bills as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965), and because he was a Southerner he easily dealt with the opposition to black civil rights received from Southern Democrats.By 1968 Johnsons popularity had almost completely diminished, and most were pleased to hear that he would not be running for president again in 1968. .President Kennedys New Frontier and President Johnsons Great Society both proposed major changes to the USA under economic, social and civil rights issues.The USAs citizens mo...

Therefore it can be seen that the role of the President was important in the expansion of the USA from 1815 to 1917 because it was their personalities and political power that led to geographical and social expansion.Contrary to Jefferson’s idea that the Native American’s could be integrated into American society, Jackson believed that they could not be civilised.The Emancipation Proclamation was an order by Lincoln in 1863 to free all slaves in enemy territory that was won during the Civil War.This led to the Union having less opposition which in turn contributed to them being victorious in the civil war.However, this only contributed to the removal of one tribe, and can be seen as only a factor in the entire removal act, and so the rol...

Therefore presidents played a key role as if they were for civil rights, then this could mean attitudes could be changed on a broader scale.Although the war was bad for the civil rights of Japanese Americans, Chinese American’s received a better way of life, with more civil rights as America forged a great political relationship with China after the war due to their help during it.This was important to the movement, and was more useful in reducing discrimination overall due to legislation passed which was showing that action was being taken against racial discrimination, unlike the role of previous activists such as Du Bois, Garvey, X and Washington who failed to have much impact on legislation.The war also created stepping stones for th...

Representation 2 describes the role of publicity and states “millions of television viewers around the world saw the divisions facing American society” Representation 2 is objective and discussed both sides of the story such as the dispute between the peaceful and violent protest, for example “Malcom X said: “Whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms singing “we shall overcome”?” this demonstrates that the source was not just looking at King and his role in the civil rights movement but also the opposition.Representation 2 is the best representation in showing how effective peaceful protest was because it has the best accuracy since it’s a history book, for example “In 1961, 26 year old African-American teacher” this is an accur...

Nixon’s role in ordering an illegal cover-up came to light in the press.Kennedy thought that the movement for civil rights would only anger many southern whites and make it even more difficult to pass civil rights laws through Congress, which was dominated by Southern Democrats, as a result, many civil rights leaders thought Kennedy did not do enough quickly enough to end discrimination.The issues of Civil Rights and Vietnam came together when blacks realised they were more likely to be conscripted than whites .The Changing Role of Women in the USA .The first, the Civil Rights Act, made the old Jim Crow laws in the southern states illegal.
