The war divided the country into two different sections. The sections were the people who wanted war and the ones who didn't. The ones who wanted war were known as the Hawks.. The ones who didn't want war were known as the Doves.. The hawks believed that due to the agression of North Vietnamese it forced us into the war. They thought that the United States should do what ever is necessary to win. Doves think that the problem in Vietnam is a civil war.
During the Vietnam War, America was split in half (not literally of course). One side was called the Hawks and they were the side that wanted to increase military force and send more troops into Vietnam to win the war. The Doves on the otherhand, wanted the opposite and wanted the troops to be withdrawn and settle the war with peace.
