In the last half of the 20th century, many social issues caused civil unrest in America. Some of the most prominent ones include racial discrimination and inequality, the Vietnam War, gender inequality, and the LGBTQ+ rights movement. The Civil Rights Movement, which aimed to end segregation and secure equal rights for African Americans, was one of the most significant social movements of the 20th century. The anti-war movement, which opposed the Vietnam War, led to widespread protests and civil unrest. The feminist movement, which sought to address gender inequality, fought for equal pay, reproductive rights, and an end to workplace discrimination. The LGBTQ+ rights movement aimed to secure equal rights and protections for the LGBTQ+ community, including the right to marry and protection from discrimination.
