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).
