"The Student Mobilization Committee was formed in 1966 “to coordinate opposition to U.S. involvement in the war in Vietnam among college and high school students.” Originally named The Vietnam Day Committee the SMC organized protests on campuses and in cities in addition to being one of the first groups that included civilians and soldiers alike. Based on a letter from 1969, the SMC had centers in 15 cities around the country but began to disband, like many anti-Vietnam groups in the early 1970s (1973) in conjunction with the U.S. beginning to withdrawing troops from Vietnam."

Details	1817	Yeager--Joseph	Battle-of-New-Orleans-Engraving-Death-Packenham	This engraved copper-plate print, created in 1817 by Joseph Yeager after William Edward West, depicts the decisive moment in American history when Major General Andrew Jackson led United States forces to a victory over the British Army and Royal Navy near Chalmette, Louisiana in the Battle of New Orleans. This significant triumph marked a turning point in the War of 1812. <br><br> The print vividly portrays the intensity and drama of the battle, capturing the heroic victory of the American soldiers over the invading British forces.

At the bottom center, a head-and-shoulders portrait of Andrew Jackson, along with American flags and weapons. <br><br> Second state issue of the print includes thirteen lettered keys lacking in the first, and also features the figure of Gen. Lambert pointing to the right. In the first state, Lambert is depicted weeping into a handkerchief. <br><br> Copper engraving. Printed by Yerkes Saurman (1791- ) <br><br>
