4 This is why some New Left historians viewed the New Deal less as a response to bottom-up pressure than as a gift to American capitalism.

6 This is not the whole story, however. It is equally the case that Watts and subsequent disorders helped to ignite a strong conservative backlash that sharply diminished Johnson's capacity to pursue the Great Society.
