What are Anti war protesters?
The United States experienced two eras of massive "anti-war" protesters: The US Civil War and Vietnam War; both of which were actually "anti-draft" protesting, under the disguise of anti "war." The vast majority of protesters were "draft aged males" and associated persons (personal friends, wives, girlfriends, mothers, etc.). All US wars have had some anti-war protesting, from the Mexican War of 1846 thru the American Indian wars, even WWI & and very quietly the Second World War, but only the American Civil War in the 1800s (19th century) had military conscription, consequently the "draft riots" (anti-war protesters).
What was Vietnam War?
The Vietnam War was a terrible war throughout the 1960's and 1970's. It was located in Vietnam, in southeast Asia. This war was not declared a war until long after it had finished, but was officially a 'police action'. On many levels it tore the US apart: * Veterans were not given recognition * Protesters disrupted colleges and other institutions * Police brutality was rampant * The government withheld vital information from the public * The body count (on both sides) was horrendous
