Summary
In the 1960s, Americans embraced the liberal promises and programs of two presidents: John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson. Kennedy, the East Coast blue blood; Johnson the rough-and-tumble Texan, could not have been more different. Yet each embraced the legacy of Franklin Roosevelt and sought to reshape the New Deal into their own world vision. For Kennedy, it was the New Frontier; for Johnson, the Great Society. Each had its triumphs and failures, but together they redefined the role of the federal government in American life and culture.
