The 1960s had a great impact on society in many different ways. The Civil Rights Movement, removed Jim Crow racist laws that had been extant since Reconstruction, the Women's Liberation Movement restarted, as women could look forward to more personal freedom and rights. The Vietnam War, changed the outlook on the government and the wars it demands should be fought, with many refusing to accept the draft. Music became very important, not just in an entertainment, but as a political symbol as well. The Countercultures were direct rejections of the conservatism of the 1950s.
