Legacy: Johnson's domestic program, called the Great Society, was an extension of the New Deal. In foreign affairs, he pursued the U.S. postwar policy of containing Communism. At the end of his term it seemed likely that the frustrations of US involvement in the Vietnam War (1959-1975) would overshadow his impressive domestic record and his less successful efforts to improve relations with the USSR.



Trivia: Johnson and his wife, "Lady Byrd", were married with a $2.50 wedding ring bought at Sears, first president to name an African American cabinet member, he rejected his official portrait painting saying it was "the ugliest thing I ever saw."
