The cover up after the event and the trial helped build antiwar sentiment.
The My Lai Massacre in 1968 significantly shifted American public opinion about the Vietnam War, revealing the brutal realities of U.S. military actions. As graphic images and reports emerged, many Americans became increasingly disillusioned, questioning the morality and justification of the war. This event amplified anti-war sentiment and fueled protests, leading to greater calls for U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam. Ultimately, My Lai served as a catalyst for a broader societal reckoning with the war's ethical implications.
