antiwar+movement

People did not like the Vietnam War because we were losing many of our men and many important people were being killed in the US like MLK and Bobby Kennedy. Also many people could see what was happening in the war on TV and they did not agree with what they saw. We also had no reason to be there because it is not our fight and were supporting a corrupt government Men were being drafted that did not want to fight so them and their families protested

To protest they did things like teach-ins where protest and education were combined at school Also many people marched in areas to try to get support for there cause Also more violent action was taken like riots in cities that were bad enough that the police got called in

Students for a Democratic Society was a group that fully agreed with democratic beliefs and were against the war The Weathermen was a radical part of the SDS who believed in violence against the government to try to end the war The Youth International Party was a small group that helped in riots and was very flamboyant.
