1964 election

The United States presidential election of 1964 was the sixth-most lopsided presidential election in the history of the United States. President Lyndon B. Johnson had come to office less than a year earlier following the assassination of his predecessor, John F. Kennedy. Johnson also successfully painted his opponent, Republican Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, as a right-wing legislator who wanted to abolish the social welfare programs created in the 1930s. LBJ advocated more programs. He included three: Medicare, Medicaid, and the War on Poverty. With these factors working for him, Johnson easily won the Presidency, carrying 44 of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Johnson won 61.1% of the national popular vote, which remains the highest popular-vote percentage won by a U.S. presidential candidate since 1820. The election is also remembered due to Goldwater's status as a pioneer in the modern conservative movement.

1960 election

John F. Kennedy VS. Nixon

This election John F. Kennedy won. I believe he won because he was funny and handsome which was the real reason he won. Wherefore Nixon was old serious and seemed very bland. This was the closes election their ever was. They were in a middle of a war and John F. Kennedy had no experience. Were Nixon had many experiences and was a war hero. I believe Nixon should of won because of all his experiences. Who do you think should of won?

Hippie year

I interviewed my grandma who actually lived in the hippie stage and had a friend that was a hippie. She was not a hippie. Hippies have a lot of bright colors and songs about love and peace they also had long hair. They were living in comunes and took lsd drugs that would made you hallucinate.

I once had a friend who overdosed on lsd. He had no ideal were he was or even who he was. It was kind of scary to watch. A place called "Ash Berry" was a big place to go in San Francisco. They would call these places love inns. They also would sit in parks and sing songs trying to encourage other people to join. Thier motto was "Don't trust anyone over the age 30 some even 20." Kids would run away from home because parents would not approve and since the vietam war was going on they would have people go around to collect people and they would not want to go.

1956 Election

The 1956 election was a repeat of 1952.

Stevenson knowing Eisenhower popularity

rate tried to use everything against him that he could.

He used Eisenhower age and health because recently

he had survived a heart attack. Stevenson

was popular with the liberals for he was for

"all- volunteer" army, and social programs.

Eisenhower did three great things that helped

him become popular.

He ended the korean war,

prosperous to the nation,

and supported the brown vs. board of Ed.

One thing I think they both should of done was the issue about civil rights. What do you think?
