It lowered the voting age so young people who couldn't vote before now could have a say.

The answer is: It lowered the voting age, which helped make young people less skeptical.

At that time, the large majority of people who oppose the vietnam war belong to the people in less than 25 year old age bracket.

Before the 26th amendment, you need to be at least 21 years old to be able to vote. After the amendment, people who are 18 years or older will have the right to vote. This helped younger people to be less skeptical and more involved in the government.
