Question: World War 1, and Woodrow Wilson!?

When President Wilson said the United States would be going to war to make the world "safe for democracy", how did his critics respond to that reasoning!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

To stop defeatism at home, Wilson pushed the Espionage Act of 1917

and the Sedition Act of 1918 through Congress to suppress anti-

British, pro-German, or anti-war opinions!. He welcomed socialists who

supported the war, such as Walter Lippmann, but would not tolerate

those who tried to impede the war or, worse, assassinate government

officials, and pushed for deportation of foreign-born radicals!. Over

170,000 US citizens were arrested during this period, in some cases

for things they said about the president in their own homes!.

Citing the Espionage Act, the U!.S!. Post Office refused to carry any

written materials that could be deemed critical of the U!. S!. war effort!.

Some sixty newspapers were deprived of their second-class mailing

rights!.

after all this u wouldn't expect a critic with half a brain to speak

anything out, would you!?!?lolWww@QuestionHome@Com
