Document Summary

There was a confrontation between radicals and liberal democrats. There were lots of reasons as to why people opposed the war: the most significant, however, was on the streets of university campuses and all of this began at berkeley. A lot of people came to berkeley from outside the city . The hippie types that came to berkeley tried to force the u. s. government to end its involvement in vietnam. In part, the black panthers formed because of this event. The longer the war went on, the more it became clear that it could become unwinnable. Americans got worn out and some leading politicians came out against the war. This would convince johnson not to seek re-election. This and student protests may have helped bring down johnson administration. What had become johnson"s war eventually became nixon"s war. He liked to keep moral calculations out of international politics.
