The 1960s, Episode 6: The Anti-War Movement

There have been a few times in American history when we felt particularly polarized. Right now kinda feels like such a time, but we take the Bronze. The actual Civil War and the time leading up to it has to take the Gold, but the Silver Medal definitely goes to the 1960s. Between opposition to the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement, American society never felt so polarized without literally going to war with each other. In this episode we will examine the Anti-War Movement in America as well as the hippie counterculture that grew along side the Anti-War Movement.
