Answer:
My guess would be to try to save people from dying
Explanation
In the graph it shows an increase in dying between the 1960's. People would protest to help the population and to save people from more devastation and loss. They might also protest to save families from having to mourn over dead family members
I hope this helps good luck ^^
Thomas was murdered for his views, so the answer is true
The election for President is really 51 individual elections, one for each state plus DC. The USA is a republic, not a democracy. Each state gets a specific number of electoral votes total to the number of Reps and Senators that state has. All but 2 states have a winner-take-all system.
The USA and the USSR had opposing views of government. Although all nations of the world after WW2 wanted peace, Stalin had other plans. To turn all the countries communist. Rather than the democratic government the USA wished for. Soon things got hot. Very fast.
