Anti-war marches and other protests, such as the ones organized by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), attracted a widening base of support over the next three years, peaking in early 1968 after the successful Tet Offensive by North Vietnamese troops proved that war’s end was nowhere in sight.]]> 2018-11-30 16:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/i_morales070200/p2d1hwpq4wv4/wish/309851446 i_morales070200 https://padlet.com/i_morales070200/p2d1hwpq4wv4/wish/309882711 When the Johnson administration announced that it would ask for a 10 percent increase in taxes to fund the war, the public’s skepticism increased. The peace movement began to push harder for an end to the war—the march on Washington was the most powerful sign of their commitment to this cause.

The term can also refer to pacifism, which is the opposition to all use of military force during conflicts.]]> 2018-11-30 17:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/i_morales070200/p2d1hwpq4wv4/wish/309888362 i_morales070200 https://padlet.com/i_morales070200/p2d1hwpq4wv4/wish/313004429 2018-12-10 16:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/i_morales070200/p2d1hwpq4wv4/wish/313004429 i_morales070200 https://padlet.com/i_morales070200/p2d1hwpq4wv4/wish/313004802 2018-12-10 16:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/i_morales070200/p2d1hwpq4wv4/wish/313004802 i_morales070200 https://padlet.com/i_morales070200/p2d1hwpq4wv4/wish/313006565 2018-12-10 16:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/i_morales070200/p2d1hwpq4wv4/wish/313006565 i_morales070200 https://padlet.com/i_morales070200/p2d1hwpq4wv4/wish/313052563 The anti-war movement began mostly on college campuses, as members of the leftist organization Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) began organizing “teach-ins” to express their opposition to the way in which it was being conducted. Though the vast majority of the American population still supported the administration policy in Vietnam, a small but outspoken liberal minority was making its voice heard by the end of 1965. This minority included many students as well as prominent artists and intellectuals and members of the hippie movement, a growing number of young people who rejected authority and embraced the drug culture.]]> 2018-12-10 17:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/i_morales070200/p2d1hwpq4wv4/wish/313052563 i_morales070200 https://padlet.com/i_morales070200/p2d1hwpq4wv4/wish/313060395 2018-12-10 17:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/i_morales070200/p2d1hwpq4wv4/wish/313060395
