What were Vietnam War draft resistors?
In general many of the protestors during the Vietnam Era were college students and other young people. Perhaps the most significant protest took place at Kent State University where National Guard troops opened fire and killed four college students. Protest of the Vietnam War was popularized and made an icon by various musicians such as Creedence Clearwater Revival's anthem "Fortunate Son". Much discontent was created by the fact that many wealthier Americans were not drafted into service and avoided the war by going to college or even moving to Canada.
What was the incident at Kent State University?
In 1970, 4 students were shot and killed by the National Guard at Kent State University in Ohio, during an anti-war protest. Students had been throwing rocks at the soldiers, who felt that they had to defend themselves.
