1965++1973++Josh

During this time period, our country was experiencing many social changes and social issues. Our country was involved in the Vietnam War conflict that many of our young citizens were against and protested our involvement. We had a military draft that all males were included by law. Soldiers that returned home from Vietnam had war trauma and drug problems to overcome. The music scene was changing with many groups addressing the social issues with their lyrics. People gathered together at large college universities to protest this war, such as the shootings at Kent State University in Ohio on May 4, 1970. Youth gangs were a problem in larger cities as well as the acceptance of integration of blacks and whites.

At the beginning of the 1965s,a very violent war broke out which is the beginning of the Vietnam War. President Johnson declared war against Vietnam when two U.S. ships were attacked on the coast of South Vietnam. That bad mistake caused one of the worst wars in history.

This effect was the beginning,but what happenes in the next 8 years is the one of the worst wars america has ever been in.As the French moved out of Vietnam in 1956,america also leaves back to america from Vietnam. Over time the situatain becomes worse when people from america are getting assinated by South Vietnam. South Vietnam also attack North Vietnam. The United States joined the war with North Vietanam to fight against South Vietnam. (Just the opposite)

When this war was going on across seas there was a different war going on in The United States. Riets broke out all over the place. People were protesting the war they wanted peace. This movement going on was the Peace Movement.These protestings eventually led to the Kent State Shotting.On May 4,1970 29 National Guard soldiers fired into the group of protesters killing 4 and 9 were injuring the soldiers fired 67 shots lasting 13 seconds.

My conclusion is that after a brutal 26 in 1973 everything started to slow down the protesting quite and the war was just about to end. The war did end in 1975. We won the war. Good job. NIce pictures. 95-CP
