Description
An
original
political
cartoon
drawing
created
by
Jack
Knox
, the
Nashville
Banner
editorial
cartoonist
from the
mid-1940s
to the
early
1970s
. The
two
frames
depict
President
Lyndon
Baines
Johnson
with an
iron
glove
("For
North
Vietnam
Aggression")
and with a
silk
glove
("For
policy
critics
at
home")
. In
1965
, the
Communist
regime
in
Hanoi
increased
armed
attacks
and a
brutal
campaign
of
terror
against
South
Vietnam
. In
response
, the
United
States
State
Department
released
a
report
assailing
the
North
Vietnamese
aggression
.
President
Johnson
was
often
criticized
for his
escalation
of
American
involvement
in the
Vietnam
War
, and his
popular
standing
eroded
over
the
use
of
military
force
.
