I think for the most part in US history the overall movement of the protestors of the aggrieved has been peaceful. Sure there have been moments in each movement where the aggrieved have resorted to non peaceful methods but the overall movements (ie Civil Rights, women’s suffrage) have been peaceful. Wonder what movements are overall been non peaceful?
Civil War?
2020 election?
