Question

The '60s were a turbulent era in U.S. history, one full of change. That decade was

followed by the '70s - an era in which Americans searched for order and limits.

When exactly did the transition from the era of peace, love, and war to the era of

control and disillusionment occur? Historians are divided on this question of

periodization. Based on your research, which year do you feel best marks the end of

the '60s and the beginning of the '70s? Use evidence to support your answer,

including at least eight key events that define your periodization of the era.

Answer 1

In my opinion, I find that the Watergate scandal and the invasion of Vietnam in the late ’60s truly was the transition between the ’60s and ’70s. The known memoir of the ‘60s was peace, love, and no war. Those social messages slowly fell apart with the change of the United States and the government.

After the horror that was watergate, Americans were craving stability. With the never-ending Vietnamese war, an election was a distraction well needed. Americans slowly started to not trust their government.

The United States was slowly becoming skeptical of the people in power, , so with Jimmy Carter in the election, lackluster support showed easily.
