There were many factors that led to civil unrest in the 1960s. The lack of civil rights for African-Americans was a big factor. African-Americans had been protesting peacefully for an end to discrimination and segregation. However, progress was very slow, and some people believed a more aggressive policy was needed than Dr. King’s non-violent methods. When people saw how non-violent protestors were treated, such as with the Selma March, more people became upset and demanded action.
The opposition to the Vietnam War grew in the 1960s. Many Americans, especially young Americans, were opposed to this war. They didn’t believe this was a conflict in which we should be involved. There were many anti-war protests, and some of them became violent.
Women were upset that they weren’t being treated fairly. They made less than men made for the same kind of work. Women also found it hard to break into male-dominated professions. The National Organization for Women formed to protest the lack of equal treatment and the lack of opportunities for women.
