Question 3 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

Why did many people find Nixon an appealing candidate?

Answer
A
He was supported by blue-collar workers in the South.
B
Prowar citizens liked his stance on US involvement in Vietnam.
C
People liked his promise to end the war and restore order in the US.

Explanation

Many voters were attracted to Nixon’s promise to bring the Vietnam War to an end while restoring law and order at home. That message appealed to people frustrated by protests and unrest. Choice B is not the best answer because Nixon’s appeal was not simply support for continuing U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
