REVISED Social Studies: Lyndon B. Johnson Study Guide
Campaign- the period during which people running for office
try to convince voters to vote
for them
Civil
rights- the basic rights that all citizens in a country have
Poverty-
lack of money
Segregation- the practice
of keeping people of different races apart
Tolerance- respect for
others’ values and beliefs
Lyndon
B. Johnson grew up in a house with no electricity and no running water and that
many other people faced the same hardships.
One problem that LBJ wanted to solve was poverty.
Not
allowing African Americans to stay at the same hotels or eat at the same
restaurants as other people is known as segregation.
Senator
Lyndon B. Johnson believed that all citizens share basic freedoms that should
be respected, and he persuaded other people to pass laws to protect these
freedoms, known as civil rights.
Lyndon
B. Johnson believed that everyone deserved to be respected no matter what their
differences. This shows LBJ’s tolerance towards others.
After
Lyndon B. Johnson served as Vice President, he suddenly became the President of
the United States because the President was killed.
LBJ’s
work displayed the character trait of diligence when he worked for a long time to
end segregation. He succeeded when Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Spending more money to
improve education, housing, and health were part of Johnson’s plan, which was
called The Great Society.
Part
of President Lyndon B. Johnson helped create a government program to help
preschool children learn to read. The
program is still in use today; it is called Head Start.
President
Lyndon B. Johnson signed a law that made it illegal to require African
Americans to take tests in order to vote and ended other unfair practices. The law was called the voting right act.
To
pay for the services that government provides, people pay taxes.
