US society remained divided throughout the Vietnam War. Severe criticism of war and a nationwide opposition to war started in 1967 and by 1970 only one third of Americans supported the war effort. The war resulted in rise of anti-war and Imperialism sentiment in USA which shaped the fate of country for times to come.

∙ 6y agoThere was sharply divided opinion, one side in favour of using it to put an end to the continuing Communist push to take over South East Asia, the other claiming it an imperialist war.
The imperialism was communist North Vietnam backed by communist USSR and communist China.
The war, although lost by South Vietnam and its allies, bought time and training of their armed forces, for the vulnerable SEA countries, which were facing their own internal communist revolutionaries.

∙ 14y agoThe Americans were not impressed with the Vietnam war at all, and many protests occured as this was the first ever war that had had non censured media coverage. This meant that the public got the full blast of what this war was about.
War protests
· First significant protests in 1964, two years ago was the Bay of Pigs which was when there was almost a nuclear war over Cuba. People now faced conscription and they were scared and didn't like it after the Bay of Pigs, considering they were only when that happened and they were scared. It was dangerous times for everyone. 25,000 people marched in D.C Washington in protest.
· Diverse mix of people involved in protest, mostly on the left, i.e. radicals, people with very strong anti-government views
· Pacifists, people who don't believe in killing and war, and Quakers, like the Amish, very passive, various clergy
· College students, hippies and yuppies (baby boomers)
· Peaceful at first with protests, but they grew increasingly wild.
The protests started of peaceful but then started to get violent, and the belief began that America wasn't really fighting for freedom.
Movement Escalates
· Protests against the draft (conscription) and war
· Also more generalized protests against government, parents and society. Protests gave people a voice. Bossy government, parents trying to make their children into replicas of themselves and society pressures, were all protested about.
· Fuelled by popular culture and drug culture, Yippies formed as a wild radical movement
The Vietnam war did not impress American society one bit.
