Goldwater Urges Withdrawal from Vietnam

 or Limited Use of Nuclear Weapons 

to Support U.S. Troops

Johnson calls Goldwater a "warmonger," wins election landslide, 

and 58,000 American boys die in Vietnam.

On this day in 1964, Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater said the U.S. should do whatever it took to support U.S. troops in Vietnam and, if Democrat President Johnson was not prepared to “take the war to North Vietnam,” the U.S. should withdraw.  Goldwater also suggested using low-yield nuclear weapons to defoliate infiltration routes and destroy bridges, roads and railroad lines bringing supplies from China.

Johnson responded by labeling Goldwater a warmonger who would drop atomic bombs on the people of Hanoi, a theme expanded upon in the Democrat Party’s famous “Daisy” ad showing a little girl picking daisies in a field while an atomic bomb goes off.  

Johnson won a landslide victory and went on to ignore the advice of his generals and mislead the American people regarding the scope of American involvement in Vietnam and what lay ahead.   

By the time the Vietnam War was over, 58,000 American boys, most of whom had been drafted and forced to go to Vietnam to fight, had been killed. [Partial source: Lt. General H.R. McMaster (President Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor), Dereliction of Duty (1997).]

THE OREGON WAGON TRAIN EMIGRATION BEGINS

A massive wagon train, made up of 1,000 settlers and 1,000 head of cattle, sets off down the Oregon Trail from Independence, Missouri. Known as the “Great Emigration,” the expedition came two years after the first modest party of settlers made the long, overland journey to Oregon.

After leaving Independence, the giant wagon train followed the Sante Fe Trail for some 40 miles and then turned northwest to the Platte River, which it followed along its northern route to Fort Laramie, Wyoming. From there, it traveled on to the Rocky Mountains, which it passed through by way of the broad, level South Pass that led to the basin of the Colorado River. The travelers then went southwest to Fort Bridger, northwest across a divide to Fort Hall on the Snake River, and on to Fort Boise, where they gained supplies for the difficult journey over the Blue Mountains and into Oregon. The Great Emigration finally arrived in October, completing the 2,000-mile journey from Independence in five months.

In the next year, four more wagon trains made the journey, and in 1845 the number of emigrants who used the Oregon Trail exceeded 3,000. Travel along the trail gradually declined with the advent of the railroads, and the route was finally abandoned in the 1870s.
