A Political Turning Point

Question 6 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

What was one reason Richard Nixon won the presidential election of 1968?

Answer
A
Nixon was a liberal like King and Kennedy.
B
Nixon promised to end the Vietnam War.
C
Nixon was a leading civil rights activist.
D
Nixon was a strong advocate for the poor.

Explanation

Nixon appealed to voters by promising “peace with honor” in Vietnam and suggesting he had a plan to bring the war to an end. He won the 1968 election in part because many Americans were frustrated by the ongoing war. He was not a leading civil rights activist or a strong advocate for the poor, and he was not a liberal like King and Kennedy.
