Draft resisters were part of which larger social movement? (1 point)
select one:
a. the feminist movement
b. the temperance movement
c. the counterculture movement
d. the organized labor movement

The correct answer is c) the counterculture movement .

The feminist movement dealt with the fighting for women's rights and did not deal with the military draft. This shows why A is incorrect.

The temperance movement was focused on making the sale and consumption of alcohol in the United States illegal. This was several decades before the Vietnam War. This shows why letter B is incorrect.

The organized labor movement was focused on obtaining safer working conditions and better pay for industrial workers. This shows why letter D is incorrect.

This brings us to letter C, the counterculture. The counterculture in the 1950's and 1960's was anti-conformist who questioned the govenrments motivation in getting involved in foreign wars like Vietnam.

the assassination of president lincoln was just one part of a larger plot to decapitate the federal government of the u.s. after the civil war. the first reaction to lincoln’s death was disbelief. then it quickly changed to grief. abraham lincoln’s death created an outpouring of grief from citizens in both the north and the south.

explanation:

lincoln was the first u.s. president to be assassinated. president abraham lincoln, america’s civil war leader, was assassinated just five days after confederate general robert e. lee surrendered his army at appomattox court house, ending the four-year war between the states. on the evening of april 14, 1865, lincoln was attending a performance of our american cousin at ford’s theatre in washington, d.c. john wilkes booth – a 26-year old actor, confederate sympathizer, and white supremacist – slipped into the presidential box and shot lincoln in the head. john wilkes booth and his conspirators had initially planned to kidnap lincoln to save the confederate states. but as the confederacy faltered, booth’s thoughts turned to murder. booth may have decided to act on his hatred after lincoln endorsed giving the right to vote to african-american men who had served in the union army.
