Best Answer

The Civil Rights Movement overlapped the Vietnam War. While our soldiers were at war, our country was divided not only concerning our involvement in said war but also due to the push to follow the Constitution - all men are created equal. Women, Native nations, Black, Spanish Americans all fought for their rights to equal jobs, equal pay, equal treatment. The anger tied to these actions carried over to the treatment of the soldiers.
