Detailed explanation-1: -The majority of the protests were in the United States, but some took place around the world.
Detailed explanation-2: -On May 1, protests on college campuses and in cities throughout the U.S. began. In Seattle, over a thousand protestors gathered at the Federal Courthouse and cheered speakers. Significant protests also occurred at the University of Maryland, the University of Cincinnati, and Princeton University.
Detailed explanation-3: -Demonstrations grew in 1966, spurred by a change in the Selective Service System’s draft policy that exposed students in the bottom of half of their classes to the possibility that their deferments would be revoked and they would be drafted. Teach-ins changed to sit-ins-student take-overs of administration offices.
Detailed explanation-4: -The first major protests began in 1964 and quickly gained strength as the war escalated. Starting at the University of Michigan, “teach-ins” on the Vietnam War modeled after seminars raising consciousness in support of the Civil Rights Movement, brought in thousands of participants.
