The war had a huge impact on the United States, with protests erupting all over the country. It was like a big ol' party, but with signs, chants, and police in riot gear! The war also saw the rise of the anti-war movement, with hippies and activists calling for an end to the war.
The war also had a big impact on the US economy, with the cost of the war skyrocketing to over $111 billion (that's over $800 billion in today's dollars!). It was like the US was playing a game of Monopoly, but with real money and real lives on the line!
