The line-up of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr led the band to be regarded as the foremost and most influential in history. With a sound rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, the group were integral to the evolution of pop music into an art form, and to the development of the counterculture of the 1960s. They often incorporated elements of classical music, older pop forms, and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways, and in later years experimented with a number of musical styles ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As they continued to draw influences from a variety of cultural sources, their musical and lyrical sophistication grew, and they came to be seen as embodying the era's sociocultural movements.

The civil rights movement was a struggle for social justice that took place mainly during the 1950s and 1960s for blacks to gain equal rights under the law in the United States. The Civil War had officially abolished slavery, but it didn’t end discrimination against blacks—they continued to endure the devastating effects of racism, especially in the South. By the mid-20th century, African Americans had had more than enough of prejudice and violence against them. They, along with many whites, mobilized and began an unprecedented fight for equality that spanned two decades.

The Hippie Movement began in the 1960s and was very influential on American politics, law and every day life. This was a time where predominantly the youth started reflecting on social values and experimentation then became the new social norm. A new counterculture was forming and those involved were not afraid of what people thought of them, and it fact many thought that those angered by what they were doing were jealous. The counterculture started as a youth movement and their ideas on all things political, social, cultural and every day values were much different then what American citizens had ever seen before.This new wave of ideas and thoughts about America was a new subculture that was known as hippies. The hippies started out mainly in the Haight-Ashbury part of San Francisco and in the East Village of New York City. Hippies focused more on the cultural values in life rather then the political issues, although that was a big part of their, “Make Love, Not War” slogan. The hippies were antiwar and promoted peace and love for being the answer to all things. The hippie culture really gained a lot of public attention and was featured on mass media quite frequently. The biggest issues society had with the hippies were their public protests, meetings and discussions that would flood the streets.Another thing was fear, in that parents all throughout the United States would have children who wanted to join the hippie movement. Many hippies dropped and of school and followed their own paths of discovering themselves through the use of psychedelic drugs such as marijuana or LSD. They referred to regular, hard working, American citizens as “squares”. The meaning behind this was that “squares” follow the rules that have been placed upon everyone, like the average nine to five job and the stresses that come along with it.The hippies were also very easy to identify because of the way they looked and the clothes they wore. The way the hippies dressed were out of the social norm. They would wear ripped jeans, peace signs, flowers, and anything tie-dye. Also physically, hippies who were men usually had very long hair and beards. Rock and roll became the new hype and sex was a huge part of the movement as well because of it being a very natural and spiritual thing. Then one of the biggest differences between hippies and regular citizens was the fact that the hippies grew into traveling communities around their town. They lived in communes together and would frequently move out into the woods to become one with nature as they would do drugs and make love.The hippie movement was something that laid an image during the 1960s through the 1970s on the youth and American culture. The hippie movement landed itself in American history textbooks for generation to talk about. It was a time like no other that changed the way, and or reevaluated, what we were doing as a country, and where we would be in the future.

The Sixties" is a term used to describe the counterculture and revolution in social norms about clothing, music, drugs, dress, sexuality and schooling; and  to denounce the decade as one of irresponsible excess, and decay of social order. The decade was also labeled the Swinging Sixties because of the fall or relaxation of social taboos especially relating to racism and sexism that occurred during this time, but also because of the emergence of a wide range of music; from a folk music revival, to the Beatles revolution, to the serious lyrics of Bob Dylan against the Vietnam war
