Progressive Democrats support universal healthcare, oppose
war as well as corporate influence on government. They prefer a more direct
form of democracy and are very critical of Rpublicans. Conservative Democrats are more moderate and
are willing to make deals with the Republicans.
The Vietnam War was controversial because of the amount of human rights
violations committed there. As the U.S.
became more involved in the war, it found itself fighting a new type of
warfare. Unreliable allies and a
determined enemy frustrated the army’s efforts in fighting the war. When scenes from the Tet Offensive were shown
to Americans, support for the war declined and they had no choice but to pull
out of Vietnam.
