CLEP US History II

Answer: D - Lyndon B. Johnson campaigned for the presidency in 1964 on a platform called the “Great Society,” through which he wanted to advance civil rights and women’s rights, declare a “war on poverty,” lower crime rates, improve public education, and achieve fairness in housing and employment. However, he inherited the growing Vietnam Conflict from his three immediate predecessors, and it mired his presidency in foreign affairs, which he failed to navigate well.
