19. Identify & LABEL people & historic developments! Then, fill notes below collage During this era, the United States experienced extraordinary economic growth and broad social changes. Americans got married and had babies in record numbers. Suburbs sprouted like weeds around cities. While most people saw their standard of living rise, hidden pockets of poverty remained. Beneath the calm surface of these years, rebellions were brewing. African Americans’ long battle for equality matured into a civil rights movement that would not be ignored. Once again Americans faced an old question: "When would the nation finally make the ideal that ‘all men are created equal’ a reality?"

Carter’s gloom overshadowed many accomplishments. In this time, an American played golf on the moon. War was declared on poverty. Artistic expression flowered. An environmental movement took shape. Still, many Americans were left wondering, "How could the nation’s founding ideals be moved forward in such tumultuous times?"

37. Chapter 20, Americans p. 668-697The New Frontier and the Great Society CHAPTER OVERVIEW President Kennedy survives major confrontations with the Soviet Union but cannot get his domestic policies past Congress. President Johnson succeeds him and launches an era of liberal activity with a wide-ranging program of new laws. Responses will vary but should include points similar to the following: • The U.S. and Soviet Union clashed over the placement of missiles in Cuba, which resulted in their removal by the Soviets, and over access to Berlin, which resulted in the Soviets’ building of the Berlin Wall. 2. Kennedy was unable to get Congress to pass bills to provide medical care for the aged, to rebuild cities, and to aid education, but he did win support for increased defense spending, a hike in the minimum wage, and the creation of the Peace Corps. 3. Johnson’s Great Society comprised many measures such as civil rights protection, Medicare and Medicaid to provide health care for the aged and poor, funding for public housing, an end to immigration quotas, efforts to clean water, and consumer protection. 4. The Warren Court issued rulings that changed the rules for creating legislative districts and enhanced the rights of people accused of crimes.

38. 1. How did the United States and Soviet Union confront each other during Kennedy’s term and how did the situations end? The U.S. and Soviet Union clashed over the placement of missiles in Cuba, which resulted in their removal by the Soviets, and over access to Berlin, which resulted in the Soviets’ building of the Berlin Wall. Flexible response…ability to react to threats, including nonnuclear, in a variety of ways (troops, ships, artillery); explained by Sec. of Defense, Robert McNamara “hot line” between the White House and the Kremlin (Moscow) Initially, communism was advancing (US appeared weak) Bay of Pigs (Cuban exiles are trained to orchestrate a “revolution”) MAIN IDEA The Kennedy administration faced some of the most dangerous Soviet confrontations in American society.

39. 2. What policies did Kennedy push, and how well did he succeed in having them passed? Kennedy was unable to get Congress to pass bills to provide medical care for the aged, to rebuild cities, and to aid education, but he did win support for increased defense spending, a hikein the minimum wage, and the creation of the Peace Corps. MAIN IDEA While Kennedy had trouble getting his ideas for a New Frontier passed several were achieved.

40. 3. Describe Johnson’s Great Society. Johnson’s Great Society comprised many measures such as civil rights protection, Medicare and Medicaid to provide health care for the aged and poor, funding for public housing, an end to immigration quotas, efforts to clean water, and consumer protection. MAIN IDEA The demand for reform helped create a new awareness of social problems, especially on matters of civil rights and the effects of poverty.

41. 4. What decisions were made by the SupremeCourt under Earl Warren? The Warren Court issued rulings that changed the rules for creating legislative districts and enhanced the rights of people accused of crimes (Miranda rights)…”one person, one vote” MAIN IDEA The demand for reform helped create a new awareness of social problems, especially on matters of civil rights and the effects of poverty.

42. History Alive! Michael Harrington’s The Other America revealed that despite the general affluence of the 1950s, millions of “socially visible” Americans lived in poverty. Although people’s views and understanding of poverty have changed over time, the problem persists. Defining poverty Pauperism was once considered a moral failure. Today, poverty is defined in terms of income. People below the poverty line do not have enough income to live decently. An invisible class In The Other America, Michael Harrington argued that the poor were “invisible” for many reasons. They lived apart from the middle class but looked much the same. They also played no role in politics. Urban poverty Impoverished minorities became concentrated in decaying cities when the middle class moved out. The Housing Act of 1949 launched urban renewal programs to clear out slums and build new housing. However, many of these housing projects became slums. Rural poverty The growth of agribusiness harmed many farmers. Migrant workers on corporate farms were not paid enough to lift them out of poverty. One of the poorest rural regions, Appalachia, suffered from poor farming conditions and a declining coal industry. American Indian policy Efforts by the federal government to “terminate” its responsibility for Indian tribes led to increased poverty among Native Americans. The Voluntary Relocation Program helped Indians move to cities, but many had trouble adapting to urban life. The “other America” today Despite government efforts, poverty is still a significant problem in the United States. About 37 million Americans lived in poverty in 2005. Today’s poor are younger and more diverse than those of the past. They are also more visible in society. • Ch. 43: Two Americas Why did poverty exist in an age of influence?

43. Ch. 48: The Age of CamelotWas John F. Kennedy a great president? • During his brief time as president, John F. Kennedy faced many domestic and foreign challenges. His presidency began with great optimism and ended in tragedy, leaving many of his goals unfulfilled. • New Frontier Kennedy’s New Frontier focused on reviving the economy, winning the space race, building the nation’s defenses, and aiding developing countries. • National Aeronautics and Space Administration In 1961, Kennedy pledged to put an American on the moon by the end of the decade. In 1969, NASA achieved this bold goal. • Bay of Pigs invasion Kennedy’s first foreign policy initiative, the Bay of Pigs invasion, was an attempt to remove Fidel Castro from power in Cuba. It failed miserably. • Berlin Wall In 1961, a concrete barrier dividing communist East Berlin from noncommunist West Berlin became a symbol of the deepening Cold War divide. • Cuban missile crisis One of the most frightening confrontations of the Cold War occurred when the United States discovered Soviet nuclear missile sites in Cuba. The crisis ended peacefully, partly due to Kennedy’s measured response and a willingness to take the nation to the brink of war. • Test Ban Treaty Kennedy and Khrushchev, both determined to reduce Cold War tensions, signed a treaty banning nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere. • Peace Corps Kennedy’s Peace Corps gave thousands of American volunteers the chance to help people in developing nations improve their lives.

44. Ch. 49: The Great SocietyWhat is the proper role of government in shaping American society? In 1964, voters elected liberal Democrat Lyndon Johnson by a wide margin. Johnson used this mandate to enact a broad program of reforms he called the Great Society. With his powers of persuasion, Johnson pushed more than 200 bills through Congress. War on Poverty Johnson’s Great Society grew out of the liberal tradition of the Progressive and New Deal eras. Its centerpiece was an ambitious War on Poverty. Economic Opportunity Act This act created a number of antipoverty measures, including the Job Corps, Project Head Start, and VISTA, which all helped cut poverty rates almost in half. Medicare and Medicaid As part of the Great Society, Congress amended the Social Security Act to include medical health insurance for the elderly and disabled. Immigration Act of 1965 This measure ended the national origins quota system begun in the 1920s. Entry to the United States was now based on criteria such as skills and family ties. Silent Spring This influential book sparked a new interest in environmentalism. As a result, Congress passed several environmental laws. “One person, one vote”  The activist Warren Court changed the political landscape by insisting that states create legislative districts following the principle of “one person, one vote.” Miranda rights In a series of controversial decisions, the Warren Court expanded the rights of the accused. It ensured that people placed under arrest be informed of their rights before questioning.

46. Martin Luther King Jr, segregation, & “Black Power”…

47. Chapter 21, Americans p. 698-727Civil Rights CHAPTER OVERVIEW After decades of discrimination, African Americans begin a struggle for equality. They make gains against unfair laws in the South, but as the movement reaches Northern cities, gains are fewer. Responses will vary but should include points similar to the following: • The civil rights movement began with changes caused by World War II. The NAACP pushed lawsuits that won African Americans the right to desegregation in education. The Montgomery bus boycott prompted the rise of Martin Luther King, Jr., as a leader of the movement. 2. Violent attacks on civil rights workers in the South prompted President Kennedy to ask Congress for a civil rights law. A massive march on Washington and his assassination, as well as President Johnson’s skill, led to its passage. The Voting Rights Act was passed due to Johnson’s support after another massive march in the South. 3. The civil rights movement changed as it tried to dislodge de facto segregation in the North and as angrier voices called for strong resistance to white racism. 4. The civil rights movement had mixed results in that it succeeded in overturning many discriminatory laws but could not unseat entranced de facto discrimination. Many African Americans still suffer from poverty and the lack of opportunities.

48. Chapter 21 Americans, p. 698-727 Civil Rights 1. How did the civil rights movement begin? The civil rights movement began with changes caused by World War II. The NAACP pushed lawsuits that won African Americans the right to desegregation in education. The Montgomery bus boycott (Rosa Parks) prompted the rise of Martin Luther King, Jr., as a leader of the movement. -post-WW II (fairness, “real” jobs, better pay) Tuskeegee Airmen… “Redtails” -Brown v. Board of Education Topeka, Kansas (1954) MAIN IDEA Activism and a series of Supreme Court decisions advanced equal rights for African Americans in the 1960s.

49. Chapter 21, Americans, p. 698-727 Civil Rights 2. What events led Congress to pass the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts? Violent attacks on civil rights workers in the South prompted President Kennedy to ask Congress for a civil rights law. A massive march on Washington and his assassination, as well as President Johnson’s skill, led to its passage. The Voting Rights Act was passed due to Johnson’s support after another massive march in the South. -“Bloody Sunday,” first of two marches MAIN IDEA Civil Rights activists broke down racial barriers through social protest. Their activism prompted landmark legislation.

50. Chapter 21Americans, p. 698-727 Civil Rights 3. How did the civil rights movement change? The civil rights movement changed as it tried to dislodge de facto segregation in the North and as angrier voices called for strong resistance to white racism. -laws vs. attitudes (common practice) -Malcolm X & the Black Panthers (Power movement) MAIN IDEA Disagreements among civil rights groups and the rise of black nationalism created a violent period in the fight for civil rights.
