This influence sparked the interest of another superpower, the United States, as expansion of Soviet communism created unrest in the American nation. ... This action was one of the most important factors in spurring unrest in the 1960s. ... This tension caused unrest for many American families and communities. President Johnson tried painstakingly to curb the unrest, but inevitably, domestic unrest spurred not only from antiwar sentiment but also anti-protest sentiment also. The unrest created severe tension among U. ... The wars of the 1960s had an enormous impact on America’s political and social position in the world. ...

Although Martin Luther King spoke of a non-violent demonstration and civil disobedience, riots erupted throughout the 1960s. ...
Black communities were outraged by the abuse on black civilians and even more with civil rights activists, but during the 1960s, no single act infuriated the black communities more than the assassination of Martin Luther King. ...
During the 1960s, several acts concerning racial prejudice were passed, which both fueled the Civil Rights movement and enraged white supremacists. ... Securing African American rights, Johnson held the black population in establishing a small step towards racial equality in the 1960s. ... Racism and Unrest still flourished in covert affairs. ...
The 1960s changed almost every aspect of American life. It was a time that stirred unrest throughout every race, age, and background. ... Like the French Revolution, the 1960s was a time of enormous change and conflict.
