Although I know that Woodstock Festival isn't something that most today would consider the "past". I took into consideration that the festival occurred over 35 years ago and over 15 years before I was born. And is one of the highly recognized music festivals that most people don't remember what the whole purpose was for. What most people have in mind of the 1960's is that people drank, got high and protested. There was so much more behind what the reason behind this for and what the mindset of the population was at the time.
Much of the reason behind the gathering was a common interest in what was occurring at the time. The Vietnam war had been causing much controversy and the lives of the population at the time was constantly about the war at the time and discussions about progress and whether we should leave. Also the causality rate and amount of veterans suffering post traumatic stress disorder was at a high. This caused a great upbringing in the minds of the citizens and most wanted to get away from these things. Causing the Woodstock festival to be so successful and one of the biggest uprisings of people in history
