How to evaluate Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society program

On January 22, 1973, he died of myocardial infarction on his ranch in Texas after only four years of his career as the former President of the United States. He was 65 years old. Although Johnson's political achievements were mediocre, the "Great Society Plan" he proposed did give Americans tremendous spiritual power and became their goal. Therefore, Johnson's status in the minds of the American people is still quite high. In the three ranking surveys of the US presidents in 1981, 1982 and 1983, he was always in the upper middle.

On January 20, 1969, Johnson's term expired and he returned to his own ranch in Texas to live a peaceful and comfortable life in seclusion. During this period, he wrote a memoir titled "A Vantage Point: A Profile of the Presidential Presidency from 1963 to 1969," which was published in 1971. The book is 600 pages long and defends and covers up the main policies and foreign aggression adopted during his tenure. He also occasionally hosted visiting Democratic politicians. Most of the time is spent in recreation and rest on the ranch. He died of illness on January 22, 1973, at the age of 64.
