    Nixon and Kissinger's policies were a little more like old wine in new bottles from the Johnson Era. Probably one of my least favorite presidents (however, I think I can imitate his voice pretty well) anyways, the similarity of Johnson and Nixon is within their belief that bombing could bring results that could bring satisfaction to the situation and their authority as president. Nixon and Kissinger are concerned in winning the war with Vietnam and it is evident during the presidential elections, as Nixon sabotaged the peace meeting with Thieu resulting with the Vietnam war being prolonged. It was prolonged and masked in an idea that Nixon's plan was Vietnamization. Along with all these bombings and secrecy, Nixon and Kissinger knowledge the…

    Richard Nixon’s resignation and General Ford’s speech addressing the pardon of Richard Nixon have a similar purpose relating to Nixon’s resignation. Both pieces have completely different design, layout and execution. But Both pieces, however, still have a common purpose of using reasons to back up Nixon’s actions of resigning. General Ford’s pardon starts with a religious statement, later he begins to explain why he feels it is the right thing for Nixon to resign. He explains that his trials and his jury would be very bais and that Richard has, “serious allegations and accusations that hang like a sword over our former president’s head (Ford)”.…

The Vietnam war was entering its fourth year, and over 31,000 American troops had been killed. At that time, 540,000 American soldiers were currently stationed in North Veitnam, and no progress had been made at peace negotiations in Paris.

    President Woodrow Wilson supported President Theodore Roosevelt 's foreign policy of aggressive nationalism, but preferred a more diplomatic approach. President Wilson hoped to revolutionize internal affairs. He first displayed his ideas in the Fourteen Point speech. Wilson wanted to dismember the imperial order by opening up colonial holdings to eventual self-rule and all European sections of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires to immediate independence. Their attitudes and actions mirrored their characters; Roosevelt was "open, aggressive, and high-spirited", while Wilson was more reserved in nature. After losing the Republican primary to Taft in 1912, Roosevelt became the nominee for the Progressive party. Wilson was the Democrat 's nominee. Their campaigns touted New Nationalism (Roosevelt) versus New Freedom (Wilson), but both campaigns had some common messages. Both candidates were concerned with righting the wrongs of corruption and the role of increased governmental controls and regulations over business. "But Roosevelt welcomed federal power, national planning, and business growth". Both President Roosevelt and President Wilson achieved much while in office. Roosevelt was a strong proponent of the nation 's natural resources, and protected and preserved the natural habitat by establishing national parks and forests. He also worked to control trusts, in order to protect workers, consumers, small businesses, and the economy. The Pure Food and Drug Act was ratified during his administration. The Wilson Administration was responsible for lowering tariffs, reforming the banking system, measures that made it legal for workers to strike, and the Clayton Antitrust Act. Latin American relations continued to be dominated by the United States, as Wilson continued the…

    John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon were both very popular presidents of the United States of America. They both had tremendous influences on history that can never be forgotten. Both of them were elected to congress in 1946, which was a period when Republicans were taking control of Congress. During the presidential election of 1960, both candidates had unorthodox viewpoints. There is a quote from Nixon when he was looking at a portrait of Kennedy that says “When they look at you, they see what they want to be. When they look at me, they see what they are.” Nixon, who was supposed to be a conservative Republican, pushed an anti-New Deal reform; however, Kennedy started out with a fairly conservative description of himself. Both Kennedy and Nixon were opposed to the approaching Cold War the day they were sworn in office. While on the campaign, Kennedy told a radio show that he berated a bunch of youngsters for having flawed views on the Soviet Union, which reinforced his conservative view of domestic policy.…
