1960s, many American men worked hard to achieve their dream.
They believed they were living the American Dream.
However three groups---AfoAmerican,young people and women-were dissatisfied with their lives.
White, middle-class youth — who made up the bulk of the counterculture — had sufficient leisure time to turn their attention to social issues.

These social issues included support for civil rights, women's rights, and gay rights movements, and a rejection of the Vietnam War.
"If you're old enough to die for your country, you're old enough to vote." Many of the youth involved in the politics of the movements distanced themselves from the "hippies".
Hippies became the largest countercultural group in the United States.
The counterculture also had access to a media eager to present their concerns to a wider public.

Why did the social movement begin?
“let it all hang out!” young people advised each other, defying their parents, who controlled their emotions and tried to keep personal matters from becoming public.
As the movement's ideals spread beyond college campuses, doubts about the war also began to appear within the administration itself.
A mass movement began rising in opposition to the Vietnam War, ending in the massive Moratorium protests in 1969, as well as the movement of resistance to conscription ("the Draft") for the war.
