When Nixon announced his intent to attack in Cambodia, over a million college students led protests across the nation. Still, Nixon claimed there was a “silent majority” who supported his war plans, even though the “hippies” and protesters were more vocal in their protest. On May 4th, 1970, at Kent State University in Ohio, several students were wounded and two killed when the National Guard, fearing for their safety, fired into the crowd of students protesting the Vietnam War.
