A Family Album Shows What Life of the U.S Looked Like in the 1960s_Ha

The 1960s started off as the dawn of a golden age to most Americans. On January 20, 1961, John F. Kennedy became president of the United States. His confidence that, as one historian put it, “the government possessed big answers to big problems” seemed to set the tone for the rest of the decade. However, that golden age never materialized.

On the contrary, by the end of the 1960s, it seemed that the nation was falling apart. Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” splintered as the Democratic Party split and America became increasingly enmeshed in the Vietnam War.

A family album from Elias555 that shows what life looked like in the United States during the 1960s.
