- Did Kennedy fulfill his promise to “get America moving again”? Why or why not?
- What the nonviolent civil rights movement of the 1960s a success? Why or why not? Can it be argued that the violent protests of the civil rights movement were more successful than the nonviolent protests?
- What were the causes of the Vietnam war?
- Was America justified going into Vietnam? What if the Communist countries invaded a country to ‘contain the spread of Democracy,’ would this be justified? What is the difference between the two situations?
- Were the cultural upheavals of the 1960s a result of the political crisis or were developments like the sexual revolution and the student revolts inevitable results of affluence and the “baby boom”?

2) A little but not really successful, the purpose of the civil rights in the 1950s was to desegregate everything. Only nine children were enrolled in Little Rock's Central High School. Things are just beginning to get a little. Just because they pass a little Civil Rights Act doesn't mean that it was completely successful because everything else was still segregated. Violent or nonviolent, it doesn't matter which one you pick you are still black and the white people will not care. The End.
3) Communism. One side of Vietnam wanted Communism and the other side didn't.
4) No, because that is a civil war. A civil war is like a family feud. One thing you do not do is get into family business, you can not fix their problems bercause that is not their family. So, America was not justified into going into Vietnam because that is a civil war and they can not win a civil war because that is not their war to fight. No because democracy is a good thing and other countries can not seem to understand that people have the right to do more than they want. The democratic one is invading the civil war and the communist would invade America.
In #2 I meant to say a little better in the 3rd sentence.
And I also meant to say that that was not your family, sorry for the mistakes people.
