Acerca de este título
President Lyndon B. Johnson, who was sworn in aboard Air Force One hours after JFK’s assassination in Dallas, used his ample skills in cajoling and arm-twisting to push through the most significant civil rights legislation in American history, in the form of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, after Kennedy’s death. A towering Texan, LBJ also believed in using political muscle to overpower the intransigent courts and legal precedent that stood in his way. He thus managed to use the Commerce Clause cases of the New Deal era to advance his Great Society agenda. Yet when LBJ left office after a single full term, he was bitter, frustrated, and exhausted, having been engulfed by public controversy over the Vietnam War. Nonetheless, Lyndon Johnson left in place one of the greatest constitutional and legislative achievements in the nation’s history.
