 * PREPARATION FOR ANTIWAR COLLAGE - by name, name, and name**
 * **4** different and detailed reasons **why** **people began to protest the war in Vietnam**
 * 1) The United States was sticking their head in another countries Civil War. This used resources that weren't necessary and costed a ton.
 * 2) The methods used fighting the war were unethical, immoral, and setting a bad warfare. In guerilla warfare, small attacks were used on fighters, and evil tactics were used such as booby traps, land mines, and gasses. The fighting tactics were unnecessary and led to slow, painful deaths.
 * 3) The draft led to much chaos among society. Young men were taken away from their families and their loved ones. Many protests occurred against drafts. Unfortunately, discrimination occurred in the draftees chosen. Their place in the army was a whopping 15% higher than their percentage in society.
 * 4) It was an unnecessary cost of lives and money, for a reason that didn't directly benefit the United States. We weren't needed in Vietnam and the problem simply wasn't ours to solve.

 * 2) People became hippies and dressed in peaceful, happy, flowerful outfits silently protesting against the war.
 * 3) People marched as a form of protest to try to peacefully portray their antiwar opinion. In Chicago at the Democratic Convention many people had a march but it unfortunately turned violent.

 * **3** descriptions of **different people or groups of people who protested** the war in Vietnam
 * 1) Hippies protested by promoting the abstract words of peace, love, and harmony. They wore childish beads and wore peace signs, flowers, and happy article of clothing and jewelry. They were antiwar because it went against their values of peace, love, and harmony.
 * 2) returning veterans spoke out against the war when they returned because they had experienced the war.
 * 3) Teachers tought teach-ins at universities.
