The feelings against the war changed how people identified with the 1960s counterculture movement in several ways:

1. Protests and Demonstrations:

   • By 1969, more than 2 million Americans took part in anti-war protests.
   • The biggest protest was the Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam, which brought together around 2 million people in October 1969.

2. Cultural Expression:

   • Music played a big role in sharing anti-war ideas. Songs like "Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival and "Give Peace a Chance" by John Lennon resonated with many people.
   • The Woodstock Festival in 1969, attended by about 400,000 people, celebrated peace and love, standing in sharp contrast to the idea of war.

3. Youth Activism:

   • College students became more active in fighting against the war. Groups like Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) helped organize students to speak out.
   • Many students were upset about the draft and its unfairness, leading to about 500,000 people resisting the draft by 1971.

4. Social Movements:

   • The anti-war movement connected with civil rights and women’s rights, pushing for more social change.
   • By 1970, only 28% of the public still supported the Vietnam War, showing a big shift in what people thought.
