What led to the rise of the new left? how did the vietnam war and the draft inflame the movement? what were its results?

The New Left was a political movement that was largely led by youth in the late 1950s into the 1960s. The New Left was a movement that was built out of estrangement of young people during this period with their government and the cultural constraints of their society. The New Left grew throughout the 1960s as politically left movements grew around the world in response to revolutionary fervor. Specifically in the US there was growing anger and backlash against the government because of the continuation and expansion of the War in Vietnam. The draft and the war only led to an increase in the New Left movement and also the anti-war movement. The movement ended up fracturing and becoming overshadowed because of violent activity of some of its members that eventually led to the movements exit from politics.
