Abstract
This Senior Project aims to provide an in-depth explanation of Lyndon Johnson's historic rise to power, the turning point of his presidency, and his subsequent downfall. It will argue that Johnson as a skillful politician had achieved remarkable successes during his time in office such as passing a number of groundbreaking and enduring legislations, but at the same time as a tragic figure who quickly lost his momentum due to serious miscalculations in Vietnam. It will present a detailed narrative of Johnson's fall from grace and examine the multiple factors that contributed to it.
