Widespread protest split the democratic party (split between youth and America)

Explanation:

Richard Nixon only almost won the elections of 1968, but the consolidated total of popular votes for Wallace and Nixon showed a change to the Right in American diplomacies.

Although 1968 began with the possibility and positiveness it ended in distrust and disunity.

The Vietnam war and several killing and crises decreased public assurance from the government and produced a resentment against progressive movement and Democratic party.
