Abstract
| The goal of this project was to analyze the antiwar protest movement against the
Vietnam Conflict, 1961-1975 at Wisconsin State University-La Crosse. I used primary,
secondary, and oral sources to identify the power and participation of
WSU-L antiwar activities, how the movement organized to promote their cause,
and the challenges and opposition it faced from the conservative and/or apathetic
student body, administration, and pro-war proponents. My analysis also related the
WSU-L antiwar movement to trends and movements that occurred on a national
scale. Analysis indicated that the consistently small but dedicated group of WSU-L
antiwar protestors was nonviolent, and though students did initiate some of their
own antiwar activities, most of their prominent marches, rallies, and lobbying
movements ran in conjunction with national events and trends. |
