Resum

The Vietnam War fostered the exodus of a number of young Americans who opposed the war on personal as well as moral grounds. Two groups must be distinguished in this regard: draft-dodgers (primarily of middle- and middle-upper class backgrounds) and deserters (primarily from the working-class). Their plea turned them into political pawns due to Canada’s neutral status in the conflict, as well as to the political turmoil that was unraveling in the United States
