He succeeded Kennedy.  He has the policy of the Great Society.  from wikipedia.org.. The Great Society program became Johnson's agenda for Congress in January 1965: aid to education, attack on disease, Medicare, urban renewal, beautification, conservation, development of depressed regions, a wide-scale fight against poverty, control and prevention of crime and delinquency, and removal of obstacles to the right to vote. Congress, at times augmenting or amending, rapidly enacted Johnson's recommendations. Millions of elderly people found succor through the 1965 Medicare amendment to the Social Security Act.

Kudo's for some good work, although I doubt that many liberals will buy into these facts.  I would like to take issue with one area of contention and that is the Viet Nam war.  It is true that JFK sent in advisors to contain the communists, but it was the old hawk Lydon Baines Johnson that escalated the war and sent in troops.  I believe that Viet Nam was Johnson's war.  After he lost the stomach to continue, when he had Charlie on his knees following the Tet offensive, the old fool announced that he was hanging up his spurs.  Johnson too, was a democrat and a shameless coward.  The loss of that war should  be credited solely to LBJ.

Sounds pretty straightforward to me. Have you made up the list of principles that Jefferson advocated in his pre-presidential days? If not, that would be a good starting point. \nYou can probably find this information by putting Thomas Jefferson into your search engine. \nGood luck!

For those who believe that the preservation of the Union was more important than states' rights, Lincoln will be perceived as a more significant leader.\n\nBear in mind that initially the war was not fought for the abolition of slavery, and many give credit to Lincoln for this.  The abolition of slavery was inevitable.  The Civil War only brought it sooner.\n\nThose who despise big government might not look fondly on Lincoln. The Civil War marks the death of states' rights and the era of excessive power in the hands of the federal government.\n\nFor me, Lincoln's great strength was eloquence, matched by few. \n\nI love Teddy Roosevelt and dislike his much overated cousin, F.D.R.  Teddy believed in self-reliance and the vigorous life.  He shunned the priviledged life into which he was born and embraced the natural world.  He had grit. Too few Americans today pursue his ideals

Alot of info. you are wanting... Vietnam combat -yes 1965 president L.B.J. (Johnson), a democrat. Korean conflict (War) started under under Truman, a democrat (the first part of this question is unclear). Troops were pulled out of Korea in 1953 under Eisenhower. The Spanish-American war was actually the 19Th century, began in 1898 and ended about a year later. Intelligent questions deserve intelligent answers. deserving of points?

Important good or important bad?  Let's go for one of each:\n\nImportant bad changes were wrought by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the father of the beaurocracy.  He use the excuse of recovery from the great depression to create an alphabet soup of government programs, all funded by taxpayers, which were supposedly combating poverty.  It is true that a lot of unemployed people got jobs with the government, and as a temporary measure it might not have been all that bad.  Such things are alway vulnerable to favoritism and various forms of corruption, of course, but at least people who had been hungry started bringing home a paycheck.  But those programs, and the precedent they set, are mostly still in place, getting larger and more expensive and less effective all the time, and the taxpayers are paying for it all.\n\nTherefore, the president who made the most valuable changes, or at least tried to, or pehaps started to, was Ronald Reagan.  He vowed to disassemble the beaurocracy, reduce taxes, and deregulate industry.  He did his best, but the job was too big for him.  However, he was largely instrumental in the downfall of the Soviet Union, mostly by scaring them into spending so much more than they could afford on their military.  The Soviet Union, as a communist country, was strangled by its beaurocracy.  It was therefore enormously inefficient.  The money it spent on the military, and on the space program once Reagan warned them that space programs had an obvious military purpose, was more than it could afford, and it went belly-up.  Also, you may recall that there were a group of hostages which the Democrats did not have what it took to get released, who were handed over when the kidnappers realized Ronald Reagan was indeed being sworn in as president.  They did not want to deal with him, because he had guts, and gave back the hostages.

not communists, the republicans, after Kennedy was assassinated Lyndon Johnson was put in place and he started the Vietnam war for the right wing hardliners

I've always wondered that too. I think that Washington and Lincoln are more important than MLK to American History. I think that MLK was a great man and did great things, but he didn't go nearly as much as our early presidents did.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights leader. His inspiration was Mr. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (or Gandhi) of India. Ironically, they were both shot dead even though both of them proponents of peace (Gandhi in 1948, Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968).\n\nAnother famous civil rights leader, was Malcolm X. Malcolm X advocated black pride, economic self-reliance, and identity politics. He ultimately rose to become a world renowned African American/Pan-Africanist and human rights activist. He too was assasinated in 1965.

As he is most noted as a JFK confidant,who spoke at his Inauguration.  Maybe I should say recited some poetry at that function.  He wrote poetry about the workers during the depression building lines for the telephone and telegraph so I associate him with FDR's New Deal.  I would place him as a Liberal.

To contain communism.  That is how we got involved in the Korean and Vietmanese wars.  President Truman also got the civil rights movement going after WWII.  Maintaining our status as a superpower and stopping Russia was our primary concerns.

President Ronald Reagan would prove to be an interesting project topic. His stand and views against the Soviet Union and Socialist movements around the world helped to define his presidency. \n\nIn addition, he helped to end the Cold War and made a stand against striking air-traffic controllers (by firing them). \n\nYou can read a lot more about him using the links below. As a side note, I also think Rosa Parks would be a great topic, but she might also be a popular one among your classmates.

We'll never know the truth-a lot of records needed are sealed until 2050. Seems there's something they don't want us to know. There's so many theories and I know someone did murder the President besides Oswald. To make it more confusing, I saw some stuff on LBJ-there's a video of his mistress of 20 years that was pretty believable. And documents to back that up. I know there were plenty that didn't like JFK and it was probably a combination of theories. The LBJ theory has a few points in its' favor. LBJ was part of a powerful wealthy group of mostly Texas Oil guys. Some interesting names that include Nixon. LBJ became president and the oil guys got some handsome oil subsidies that JFK wanted to get rid of. There are those(including McNamara, JFK's Defense secretary) that felt JFK would never have escalated Vietnam. To make it weirder,, Bobby Kennedy probably would have been President in '69 but was also assasinated, and Nixon became President instead. I'll watch the other video-seems big oil sure could've been a factor.

In left to right order, to "commemorate the founding, growth, preservation, and development to the United States."\n\nWashington for founding, Jefferson for growth (expansion/Lousiana Purchase), TR for national parks, Lincoln for development of the Union beyond slaver.

First of all, I think you mean 'determined.'   MLKJ stood up for his beliefs and morals, despite death threats, being arrested, and being beaten many times.  He stood up for racial equality and peaceful protest, and made such a significant contribution to our country as far as civil rights is concerned.
