American Anti-War Movement

Years: 1964 - 1972

Opposition to the Vietnam War begins in 1964 on United States college campuses.

Student activism becomes a dominant theme among the baby boomers, growing to include many Americans.

Exemptions and deferments for the middle and upper classes result in the induction of a disproportionate number of poor, working-class, and minority registrants.

By 1968, a majority of Americans oppose the war.

"Study history, study history. In history lies all the secrets of statecraft."

— Winston Churchill, to James C. Humes, (1953-54)
