Final answer:

The statement is False. The Vietnam War divided the US population and led to widespread protests against the war.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is False.

As the United States involvement in Vietnam increased, the war's popularity did not grow. In fact, the Vietnam War divided the US population and led to widespread protests against the war on college campuses and among the general public.

By 1967, tens of thousands of Americans were attending antiwar protests, indicating a growing opposition to the war. These protests were seen by many as unpatriotic, but they reflected a shift in public opinion against the war, rather than an increase in its popularity
