the firstThe first Great Society program to address the "War on Poverty" was the
The Great Society was a set of domestic programs in the United States announced by President Lyndon B. Johnson at Ohio University and subsequently promoted by him and fellow Democrats in Congress in the 1960s. Two main goals of the Great Society social reforms were the elimination of poverty and racial injustice. New major spending programs that addressed education, medical care, urban problems, and transportation were launched during this period. The Great Society in scope and sweep resembled the New Deal domestic agenda of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Some Great Society proposals were stalled initiatives from John F. Kennedy's New Frontier. Johnson's success depended on his skills of persuasion, coupled with the Democratic landslide in the 1964 election that brought in many new liberals to Congress, making the House of Representatives in 1965 the most liberal House since 1938.[1] Anti-war Democrats complained that spending on the Vietnam War choked off the Great Society. While some of the programs have been eliminated or had their funding reduced, many of them, including Medicare, Medicaid, the Older Americans Act and federal education funding, continue to the present. The Great Society's programs expanded under the administrations of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. Does this help at all? http://www.socialstudieshelp.com/Lesson_104_LBJ.htm

@scarypanda101 if were were to just give you the answers, then that would be cheating. Openstudy is a site to look for HELP. @lillybeth123 provided fantastic resources in which the answers can be found. She took the time to find the sites even though she did not need them for herself. I think that you can take the time to at least scan through the given sites and, at the minimum, attempt to find the answer.
@Anw1317 When I had to use this site for my online class more than I'd say ninety percent of students used this site to get the answers quick. Not to read a bunch of BS to waste our time
