The Anti-Vietnam War Movement was a social and political campaign in the United States during the 1960s and early 1970s, opposing the country's involvement in the Vietnam War. Activists, including students, civil rights leaders, and various organizations, protested against the war, arguing it was unjust and caused unnecessary suffering. Demonstrations, marches, and sit-ins became common, with notable events like the Kent State shootings in 1970 highlighting the tensions. The movement was fueled by various factors, including the draft, graphic media coverage of the war, and growing disillusionment with the government. Prominent figures, such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Abbie Hoffman, played significant roles in advocating for peace and social justice. Ultimately, the movement contributed to changing public opinion and influenced U.S. policy regarding Vietnam.
