Turning Point
Why was 1968 a turning point in America as well as the Vietnam War* ?
1968 was a turning point in America due to the turmoil in the nation during that year. James Earl Ray shot civil rights leader Martin Luther King. 1968 also saw the assassination of Robert Kennedy, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination that year. In 1968, antiwar protesters violently attacked the Democratic convention in Chicago. The protests and police response was televised, giving the party bad publicity and helping guarantee a Nixon victory in 1968. Nixon won the presidency due to his promise to leave Vietnam with our "national honor" intact. *
