Buttons were essential tools of persuasion in the antiwar movement. They symbolized the visual language of the counterculture in compelling, graphically innovative ways. Coalitions of American antiwar activists formed between 1966 and 1970 to organize large demonstrations in opposition to the Vietnam War. In the earliest major demonstration nearly 100,000 protesters gathered in Washington, DC. By 1970, two-thirds of Americans believed military engagement in Vietnam was a mistake.
