What are the complicated legacies of the Vietnam War? Learners consider the question as they examine videos and primary sources from the conflict. After examining footage and documents such as the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and an op-ed piece from a Vietnamese citizen, budding historians evaluate the conflict using graphic organizers. They finish by writing brief papers to summarize the material.
