Vietnam was the one war in American history that received more backlash than any other. The American public hated the idea of going to war with Vietnam and it showed all over the country. People began disrespecting the soldiers coming home after risking and some sacrificing their lives all in the name of the American people. Nam was to me a failure on the part of the USA trying to intervein in the countries business and protect South Vietnam, which left 60,000 people dead on the side of America. A lot of people didn’t think it was necessary and while other wars suffered way more casualties, it was the principle of the war with this one.              President Nixon was one reason that the war in Nam was so heavily criticized because he violated the Cambodian neutrality act and that sparked protest all over the country.

After World War 2 it was imperative that the whole country start and continue to progress and regroup after the war. One of the ways we did that was by building up the rest of our country. The Northeast and the Midwest were booming because of the industrial revolution, the Northeast was the original starting point of America, and the South/Western part of the USA was fairly simple. There wasn’t a lot of action out there in terms of business for the US and where the government had holdings. We now see how big the west is and how economically, it has grew to be what we know it today. The south was poor then and in my opinion is still poor now. There are a couple of big cities that hold importance, but mainly they are tourist cities.      ...
