1970's-Vietnam

In the early 1970's the Vietnam war was in full swing and many people protested day in and day out. Three things that were protested about the war were the reasons for the United States being there, the draft, and how many American soldiers were over in Vietnam. The controversy over the reasons was that the government of Vietnam was a communist regime but there was no direct threat to the United States. Many artists including the Beetles, Black Sabbath, and Marvin Gaye. protested this war with their music. The hippie movement was dying out towards the mid 70's and punk was taking over. Feminism was becoming a large part of society fifty years after the passage of the nintenth ammendment which gave women the right to vote.
