What is the main difference between these views? Explain your answer, using details from both interpretations.

The main difference is the extent of the opposition to the Vietnam war during the United States' military intervention.

Explanation:

While the first interpretation maintains that public opinion had turned against the war even before the Tet Offensive of 1968, the second one claims that the war had strong public support at that time and even up to 1970. While the first interpretation focuses on the many demonstrations against the war, the second one recounts an attack against peaceful protesters as being celebrated by the public.

Planter families were quickly decimated during the Civil War. Union blockades prevented southern plantations from exporting cotton, tobacco, indigo and other major crop they grew. Also, most of the Civil War was fought in the South, with armies often plundering planter homes for supplies, along with freeing the slaves that made up much of their wealth. At the end of the war, the southern gentry/aristocracy that planter families made up was gone.
