African Americans, Hispanics, and lower class people were disproportionately affected by the Vietnam War through serving and suffering. In 1967, large protests against the war were held in New York City and San Francisco, attracting over 200,000 people combined. Tens of thousands of Americans fled the country to Canada to avoid the draft while others fled within the United States. Music was an important form of protest against the war during this period.

Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg Address at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in 1863. In just over two minutes, Lincoln redefined the nation's founding, tracing it back to the principles of equality in the Declaration of Independence rather than the signing of the Constitution. Lincoln reminded Americans that the nation was dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Though not the main speaker, the Gettysburg Address had a profound impact in reframing the goals of the Civil War and calling Americans to continue fighting to uphold the principles of liberty and equality for all.
The freedom riders
The Freedom Riders were a group of civil rights activists who rode interstate buses in the 1960s to challenge laws mandating segregation in public transportation terminals in the Southern United States.

Despite attacks and arrests, the Freedom Riders continued their journey and brought national attention to the injustices, which eventually led to new federal laws banning segregation in interstate transportation.
My lai & end of vietnam war

The massacre increased public opposition to the war and demonstrated the brutality that could occur amid incorrect intelligence and low troop morale.

Robert Franklin Williams wrote "Negroes With Guns" while living in exile in Cuba after being forced to flee the United States due to his activism for African American civil rights and self-defense against racist violence. As a child, Williams witnessed a brutal beating of a Black woman by a white police officer that left a lasting trauma. After serving in World War 2, Williams returned home to North Carolina and organized armed resistance against the Ku Klux Klan to prevent further racist violence and lynchings. This led to threats and false charges against Williams, forcing him and his family to flee the country in 1961.

4. EVALUATING
Do you agree that antiwar protests
were “acts of disloyalty”? Why or
why not?
5. ANALYZING VISUAL SOURCES
This antiwar poster is a parody of
the World War I Uncle Sam poster
(shown on page 588), which states,
“I want you for the U.S. Army.” Why
might the artist have chosen this
American character to express the
antiwar message?
Responding to antiwar posters, Americans who supported the government’s
Vietnam policy developed their own slogans: “Support our men in Vietnam” and
“America—love it or leave it.”
JOHNSON REMAINS DETERMINED Throughout the turmoil and division that
engulfed the country during the early years of the war, President Johnson
remained firm. Attacked by doves for not withdrawing and by hawks for not
increasing military power rapidly enough, Johnson was dismissive of both groups
and their motives. He continued his policy of slow escalation.
A PERSONAL VOICE LYNDON B. JOHNSON
“ There has always been confusion, frustration, and difference of opinion in this
country when there is a war going on. . . . You know what President Roosevelt
went through, and President Wilson in World War I. He had some senators from
certain areas . . . that gave him serious problems until victory was assured. . . .
We are going to have these differences. No one likes war. All people love peace.
But you can’t have freedom without defending it.”
—quoted in No Hail, No Farewell
However, by the end of 1967, Johnson’s policy—and the continuing stale-
mate—had begun to create turmoil within his own administration. In November,
Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, a key architect of U.S. escalation in Vietnam,
quietly announced he was resigning to become head of the World Bank. “It didn’t
add up,” McNamara recalled later. “What I was trying to find out was how . . . the
war went on year after year when we stopped the infiltration [from North
Vietnam] or shrunk it and when we had a very high body count and so on. It just
didn’t make sense.”
As it happened, McNamara’s resignation came on the
threshold of the most tumultuous year of the sixties. In 1968
the war—and Johnson’s presidency—would take a drastic
turn for the worse.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
