I will pay for the following article Political and Cultural Perspectives on the 1960s. The work is to be 6 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. The results were widely held misconceptions that the entire era was somehow sponsored and promoted by communist ideals—leftist ideals. Everything connected with the era somehow had a “leftist” taint, which has, over time, produced a kind of “sixties confusion” as to what the era was, meant, and how it is to be considered in a historical timeframe.The initial reality that must be accepted is that no one group, movement—social or otherwise—defines it. However, looking at all of the actions and events that took place, there is one aspect that stands out above all. In the process of defining the era through its various groups and ideas prominent at the time, “it is important to note that problems, oppositions, conflicts, and ultimately struggle are what truly characterized the sixties”(Carter, para. 4). What is true whether we are talking about political or social movements, the younger generation’s grasp for freedom, the sexual revolution, et al, it all involved struggle from one perspective or the other: struggle for emancipation from parents and the “establishment,” struggle for civil right among minorities, struggle for equality in society and the workplace for women, or the struggle to end the Vietnam War by the anti-war movement. It was this latter movement perhaps more than any other that came to cast the “leftist” shadow on all that occurred in the sixties.Unfortunately, the legacy of the anti-war movement is that it was born and nurtured by “left-leaning” radicals. .While the movement may have been the most successful of its type ever to appear on the American scene, and despite being credited with the government’s decision to finally end the war, most people, even those who also questioned the war, did not support the movement. .
