Blog Post #7 The Progressive Era

    Anti-War is where people who are against going to war and do not agree with the ideas behind them. Anti-War activists try to have peaceful protests against the government, president, and military because they believe that going to war is not a solution to the problems in front go them.

 In the 1960's these beliefs became violent as soon as large groups of activists joined together to protest. Today there is very little mention on Anti-War groups and websites like, Antiwar.com

, are not put out into the media. This is because the government does not want the American people to be exposed to these types of protests. The Government shelters us from these in order to protect their fundings and keep secrets. Anti-War groups devote their time trying to speak out about these wars. People who are actually interested in knowing where money goes for wars and what specific wars the United States are in might find themselves on an Anti-War website, but most people do not.
