Jimmy Carter’s Pardon of Draft Evaders: A Controversial Move Towards National Healing

Credited from: NPR

  • Jimmy Carter inaugurated as President in 1977, quickly moved to fulfill a controversial promise regarding Vietnam draft evaders.
  • On his first day in office, Carter issued Proclamation 4483, aiming to heal the rifts left by the Vietnam War.
  • The pardon applied to men who evaded the draft between August 4, 1964, and March 28, 1973, allowing them to avoid criminal charges.
  • Carter faced criticism from military officials for being too lenient and from some activists for excluding deserters from the pardon.
  • Despite backlash, Carter maintained the pardon was necessary for national healing, reflecting the divided sentiments about the Vietnam War era.
