Anti-War

Anti-War. What is it? 

What is Anti-War and why do most people not know about it? Anti-War simply means what it says, people who are against going to war and disagree 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 isn't the answer and to give world peace a try. Well, that was the motive in the 1960's and turned violent as soon as large groups of activists joined together to protest. Nowadays, people don't really hear much about Anti-War groups or websites because the government and president do not want the American people to worry about wars and the spending's on them, and Anti-War groups are trying to speak out about them. 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. This link describes what activists would do in the 1900's to try and prevent wars and what repercussions they would have to face. Here are a few images below that shows what protests would look like and the message behind them.
