- The was becoming the end of an era when students fought many causes such as racism; the draft to the Vietnam War which many disagreed on. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy; Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.. The Anti-War movement was sought out by many college campuses in the U.S. in protest against the Vietnam War and the draft (forced draft.) The Kent University protest against the Vietnam War proved to be disastrous and some students were killed when the U.S. National Guard wildly opened fire of them which then inflamed the antiwar movement.
