World War II was the only War in American history that had no major anti-war movement. I grew up thinking it was because our nation's survival was at stake and everybody was in it together to defeat the people who wanted to take over our country.

What I've come to believe (especially after 9/11), is that the reason there was no real anti-war movement in WW II, was because Hitler invaded the Leftists' hero-nation The Soviet Union, and everything and anything had to be done to save them. This explains why people like George McGovern became war heroes.

World War II was the only War in American history that had no major anti-war movement.

There was an ENORMOUS anti-war movement at the beginning of WW II in the US. Groups like American Peace Mobilization held a 1,029-hour non-stop peace demonstration in front of the White House.

The demonstration stopped at the exact time that Hitler invaded the USSR, and the group immediately started calling for the US to enter the war.

Interesting insight, and I’ve got to agree with you. Explains all the deception it took to get us involved in it as well.
