War by edwin starr
|
"War" by Edwin Starr was released in 1969 with a purpose to protest the Vietnam war. During the same year, a draft was established which forced 19-25 year old men to drop everything and fight in a war that was confusing and seemingly unneeded. This song is aimed to all citizens who oppose the Vietnam war.

Ohio by Crosby, stills, nash & youngThis song was created right after the Kent State Massacre. It expresses frustration towards the "tin soldiers" who are controlled by president Nixon. Nixon is who the musicians blame the war on. The tone of the piece is hopeless, as the subject they are talking about is.
