politics of America

The decade of the 1960s is often referred to as "the turbulent decade," and much of this

turbulence stems from the anti

Vietnam War

movement that swept the nation. I'm sure you

conjure up the iconic images of protesters

placing flowers in the barrels of guns or the countless

images of college students holding signs on campuses across the US. So with that in mind, we

are going to be ask

ing ourselves an overarching question: Why did many Americans oppose the

Vietnam War?

You have been given a timeline of the War, along with 2 documents. After reading the timeline

and the documents, answer the following questions:

1. Why did MLK and John K

erry oppose the war?

2. Why did anti

-

war sentiment grow after 1968?

3. Based on what you've read, who opposed the war in Vietnam? Was it mostly college kids?

4. Using all of the documents, why did many Americans oppose the Vietnam War?

5. Considering the c

ontext, can you speculate what those Americans who supported the war said?
