Question

Draft resisters were part of which larger social movement? (1 point)

Select one:
a. the feminist movement
b. the temperance movement
c. the counterculture movement
d. the organized labor movement

Answer 1

c. the counterculture movement (this was found using process of elimination)

Answer 2

The correct answer is c) the counterculture movement .

The feminist movement dealt with the fighting for women's rights and did not deal with the military draft. This shows why A is incorrect.

The temperance movement was focused on making the sale and consumption of alcohol in the United States illegal. This was several decades before the Vietnam War. This shows why letter B is incorrect.

The organized labor movement was focused on obtaining safer working conditions and better pay for industrial workers. This shows why letter D is incorrect.

This brings us to letter C, the counterculture. The counterculture in the 1950's and 1960's was anti-conformist who questioned the govenrments motivation in getting involved in foreign wars like Vietnam.
