During the Vietnam War, there were many protest songs. They dated from 1965 - 1973. Many people didn't like how America was at war. A lot of groups made songs to protest the war. A lot of them came from the band " The Beatles . "

John Lennon from this band in the 60's wrote the song " Imagine . " It was written in 1971. A few words from the song are, " Imagine all the people living life in peace . " This song was about the Vietnam War. It focuses on how people could live without war and fighting. There would be nothing to die for or fight for.

Another song written by the Beatles is " Yesterday ". It was made in 1965. It captures the image that before the war there weren't any problems in the world. The song says, " Yesterday , all my troubles seemed so far away . " Then , it talks about how they seem like they will stay forever.

These two songs are about the war and the impact that it had on everyone in America. It affected families, friends , and basically everybody. People protested in singing music. The war has now been over for almost 45 years, but we still look back on it as something that was a big thing in American History.

Nice job-just wished you would have included other groups that wrote protest songs. 93-CP
