What state did hippies start in?
With the nation shocked and paralyzed by the Vietnam War,
thousands of American youth showed their concern through campus
rallies, antiwar demonstrations, and concerts for peace. many of
them youth were strongly opposed to a war that was taking place
halfway across the world, in which their fathers, brothers,
friends, and husbands were dying. united in their antiwar
sentiment, they joined in the "counterculture" movement. the
counterculture manifested its rebellion in several way: long hair,
rock music (as showcased at Woodstock), tye-dye, sex, drugs, and
riots are only some of the vehicles through which the
counterculture asserted itself. through protests and anti-war
demonstrations, the counterculture challenged the governmental
institutions and traditional values of American society.
