As American casualties mounted, public support for the war faded. For the first time, Americans watched a war on television. They saw villages burned, children and old people caught in battle, and soldiers wounded and killed.
To build up troops, the United States expanded the draft, or system of mandatory enlistment into the armed forces. The draft affected American youth unequally. Many young middle-class men found ways to avoid the draft, such as attending college. As a result, many of the draftees sent to Vietnam were poor. A large number were African American and Latino.
As more and more young men were sent to fight in the Vietnam War, an antiwar movement gained strength. Protesters staged rallies, burned draft cards (notices that a person has been drafted), and refused to serve in the military. Many of the largest demonstrations took place on college campuses.
Use the passage to answer the question.
Based on this passage, which of the following was a motivation for the antiwar movement?
A. The draft process and methods of selection seemed unjust.
B. Funding for the war left many colleges without the proper resources.
C. There was fear of the war spreading to American soil.
D. The events of the war were misreported.

Does this sound good? hey great britain, we need to talk. weâve been through a lot these past couple of years and i donât think that i wouldâve made it this far without you but, i think itâs time that i tried to. donât get me wrong, i think youâre a pretty great country! youâre smart, youâre funny, you're rich, and very dominant but, these past couple of years youâve been a little too dominant. as each year goes by you become more and more self-absorbed. youâre only concerned about your own well-being. for example, when we get into arguments you always raise the taxes on paper and tea prices; it just isnât fair. not only are you selfish but, you always want your buddies around. itâs not very fun cleaning up after you and your british soldiers (you guys never put the toilet seat down). theyâre always popping up unexpected, and you always force me to let them stay for a couple of days. not to mention how irresponsible you are. i donât like it when you force some of your responsibility on me. itâs not my fault that you got yourself into another war so, why should i have to pay for it? listen, in the beginning, what we had was good but, you and i arenât so compatible anymore. i think itâs best if i took some time to be independent and think for myself for once. -yours truly, the states
