This essay looks at the impact the civil rights, antiwar, women's and conservative movements in the United States, have had upon legislation, mentalities and the reality of everyday life. Taking these criteria into consideration, it determines which movement was most successful in achieving its aims and why.
At the end of World War II, many movements in the United States gave rise to important changes in society. Of major importance in postwar America were progressive movements for Civil Rights, against the war, or for women’s and gay rights. Some movements, though, were not progressive as to their aims, like the conservative movement. Historians have engaged in spirited debates over how successful each of those movements was, but measuring the success of a struggle for political and social change remains quite difficult. Indeed, what is success?
