-**Teach-ins:** These were based off of the sit-ins from the Civil Rights Movement. Teach ins mixed protesting with education, and they were well accepted by participants.

One of the most famous protests was with 50,000 people outside of the Pentagon. DRAFT CARDS- In the Vietnam War, there was a draft, and the government sent out draft cards to young men. Men who were against the war would burn their draft cards in protest. They didn't want to go to war, and this was a way of showing the government how persistent they were.

WEATHERMEN- The Weathermen were a radical group who opposed the war in the sixties. They were a faction of the Students for a Democratic Society. The SDS focused on civil rights, but their focus changed to the Vietnam War. They wanted to overthrow the government using force.
