Does anyone else believe this? Of course, there was a confluence
of different
movements, some of which may have been encouraged by the success of
the anti-war
movement. I know that Carrol disagrees with my earlier contention
that the draft was
also an important factor. I think that the economic problems of
the time eroded
middle class support. Anyway, I am unconvinced that you can make
the case for a
single-factor explanation.

The movement against the Vietnam War was an offshoot of the Black

have much oomph.
