The Vietnam War (1964-73) transformed the United States. The effects of the conflict were far-reaching, not only for the nation's geopolitical and military policies, but also for its social fabric. In Georgia, as in most of the states in the Deep South, the majority of the population supported the war effort. As the war dragged on, however, Georgians, like many Americans, began to question the decision to go to war, to criticize its prosecution, and to long for an end to hostilities.GSE identifier: SS8H12text/htmlengForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Vietnam War, 1961-1975--InfluencePublic opinion--Georgia--History--20th centuryVietnam War, 1961-1975--Political aspects--GeorgiaGeorgia--History, Military--20th century--Politics and government--20th centuryVietnam War in GeorgiaText
