Many American's were turning against America because they were believed to used chemical weapons against  Vietnamese people. America was claimed to have been torturing them as bad as the Nazis did in WW2. In 1968, sixty percent of Americans didn't approve of the way Johnson was handling the war. There was a lot of chaos going on and one was some info getting out from the New York Time's paper, about how the US was planning on going to war with Vietnam although Johnson claimed he would not send troops.]]> 2018-03-05 14:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238112153 julia_ransdell https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238118904 I feel like if I lived in the 1960s, I wouldn't be happy with my president either. I don't even know what specifically he did to have his people turned against him, but if I knew the little information that he was leading the abuse to Vietnam with powerful chemical weapons, I'd be the first to protest Peace. Now I don't know what America did to get like the way it is, but i'm sure US & Vietnam didn't have it THAT bad. I would side with the people on the protesting side.]]> 2018-03-05 15:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238118904 julia_ransdell https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238634026 2018-03-06 14:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238634026 julia_ransdell https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238639819 Denise Levertov grew up in England and wrote poetry starting at a young age. Levertov had strong beliefs about the war as time progressed and ass she got older. She put her thoughts in books and helped the artists and writers protest against the war in Vietnam. Being a woman, it was difficult for her to speak out at this point in time. But she managed to still try and change the war stance of the US, and contributed The Sorrow Dance (1967) and To Stay Alive (1971). ]]> 2018-03-06 14:53:41 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238639819 julia_ransdell https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238647184 This was one of the most significant marches in United States history. This protest had over 100,000 people and started peacefully. This march happened in October 21, 1967. This was a three hour parade on their way to the Pentagon. There were fights that broke out later on into the march and some 400 protesters are arrested. The second day was more peaceful and there was a total of 600 arrested. 
"We're not against the soldiers, we're against the war" they spread that peace and love was indeed the answer. This was the generation, in which these so-called "hippies" changed.]]> 2018-03-06 15:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238647184 julia_ransdell https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238655965 Thousands of people gather to protest their views on the war:]]> 2018-03-06 15:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238655965 julia_ransdell https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238656987 An anti-war activist giving soldier a flower, promoting that they are not against them, but they are against the war:]]> 2018-03-06 15:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238656987 julia_ransdell https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238660656 John Lennon, like Ringo Starr and George Harrison, promoted peace and love! (This is why I appreciate the Beatles solo careers so much) In Give Peace a Chance, released in 1969, is sort of a chant for peace and a symbolic measure for love. 

The lyric repeated handfuls of times, "All we are saying is give peace a chance" basically meant that we need to spread the idea of international love. Yoko Ono, John Lennon's wife, had a lot of inspiration in the making of this song had very strong political views on peaceful negotiations with Vietnam. This stands out to me because it's more of a chant than a song. ]]> 2018-03-06 15:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/238660656 julia_ransdell https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/239175783 By: Julia Ransdell]]> 2018-03-07 14:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_ransdell/bjp3ytcazrx5/wish/239175783
