Not only did it expose the limits of U.S. military power and destroy the consensus over post-World War II foreign policy, but it acted as a catalyst for enormous social, cultural and political upheavals that still resonate in American society today. This guide is intended as a bibliograhical tool for all those seeking an introduction to the vast literature that has been written on this subject. It covers the reasons behind American intervention in Vietnam, the role of Congress, the Executive and the media, the response of the American public, particularly students, to the escalation of the war, and the war’s legacy upon American politics, culture and foreign policy. It also addresses the experiences of those individuals affected directly by the war: Vietnam veterans and the Indochinese refugees.

During the hearing, testimony was given from four panels of Vietnam era veterans who represented across- section of those who servedftheir country in that war. Some of the witnesses also, represented veterans groups or worked in veterans programs or `outreach centers. Minority veterans comprised two of the panels. During the hearing, witnesses testified about the many problems that Vietnam veterans face in attempting to get loans from the Small Business Administration (SBA) to start or purchase a business. The problem is especially acute for minority veterans, according to the testimony, because they have less capital, or they have language barriers and nobody in the SBA to speak their language (primarily Spanish), or they are the victims of prejudice. The veterans who testified cited the need for more outreach programs, more money'for loans, and less red tape in the SBA in order to provide some economic opportunity to Vietnam veterans who thus far have been penalized for their service to fheir country.

GOODWIN has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester Pach Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 Abstract GOODWIN, GERALD F., Ph.D., August 2014, History Race in the Crucible of War: African American Soldiers and Race Relations in the “Nam” Director of Dissertation: Chester Pach For African Americans soldiers serving in the armed forces during the Vietnam War the domestic scene loomed large. African Americans perceived racial issues—race relations, prejudice, and discrimination—in Vietnam through a lens heavily influenced by their earlier experiences in the United States. Issues related to race and race relations helped to define the African American experience in the United States, and these same issues defined the experiences of black soldiers in Vietnam. Race relations in combat were typified by cooperation, shared sacrifice, and a sense of brotherhood. These positive relations were largely a reflection of the fact that black and white soldiers in combat were heavily dependent on one another. Despite these positive interactions with whites, African Americans did not view the armed forces as an institution free of racial prejudice.

  • US History 2
    Summit Public Schools Summit, New Jersey 11 th Grade – U.S. History II Full year course R evised 2020 Course Description: In an age of rapid change and growing complexity, it is imperative that students develop critical thinking skills and knowledge and understanding of the American experience of which they are a part. Further, it is vital that they be able to place this knowledge and understanding in its global context. The relationships between history and diverse cultural factors offer students the opportunity to gain a more meaningful understanding of American life and our cultural legacy. This one-year survey of our nation’s history from the early 20 th century to the present day emphasizes the transition of the United States from a rural, agricultural society to a heterogeneous, urbanized, industrial society. The development of the United States as a world power is seen through the growing international presence of the nation beginning with World War I. An examination is made of the economic and social structure of the periods of the Progressive Era, the “Roaring Twenties” and the Great Depression. World War II and the postwar period mark the maturation of the United States as a world power and consumer society, while the Vietnam conflict and the social changes it wrought mark a new era in U.S. development. The course continues with an examination of U.S. domestic and foreign policy in the post-Watergate era through the War on Terror. The final unit examines global and domestic issues facing the U.S. in the last decades of the 20t h century and beyond into the 21 st century.

Students all across the world were joining the counterculture, known for its “long hair, sloppy dress, free love, and disrespect for the ‘establishment.’” Some universities had violent campus rebellions. Newspapers and television carried stories about “The Embattled Campus,” “Berkeley at War,” and “Academics at the Barricades…” Bethel, in a small way, began participating in demonstrations and protests – in distant places. Groups of faculty and students went to Washington, DC to support the nuclear test ban in 1961, to the “March on Washington” in 1963, and to the Montgomery civil rights march, organized by Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1965. The great peace issue of the 1960s was working to end the Vietnam War. In 1967 Calvin Trillin, writer for the New Yorker, came to Kansas to check out the

I demonstrate that the US military consciously and methodically shifted from a conscripted force to the All‐Volunteer Force as a safeguard to ensure that dissent in the ranks never arose again as it had during the Vietnam War. This story speaks to profound questions regarding state power that are essential to making sense of our recent history.
