Influencing Public Opinion

What is Propaganda? Different forms of communication used to persuade a group of people towards the support of one belief or another Usually bias or misleading towards a certain way

Partner Activity List different types of propaganda What are examples of propaganda you see in your every day life? Why use propaganda? Is propaganda a good or bad thing? Or both? Why?

Getting the American People to Support the War “It is not an army that we must shape for war…it is a nation.” - Woodrow Wilson Many Americans were in favor of neutrality, and now needed them to support war How do you persuade people to support a war they did not want?

Committee on Public Information Government agency in charge of getting American people to support war President Wilson created to influence people’s opinions Used lots of propaganda: posters, newspaper stories, speeches, celebrities, etc.

Anti-German Sentiment People started to question German-Americans’ loyalty Schools stopped teaching German, stopped playing German music Discrimination/imprisoned some German-Americans

Don’t Talk Bad About the War Many Americans spoke out against war Espionage Act passed in 1917- imprisoned for helping enemy or refusing military duty Sedition Act passed in 1918- illegal to “utter, print, write, or publish any disloyal or abusive language”

Espionage & Sedition Acts Over 1,000 opponents were jailed for speaking out against the war Director of film “The Spirit of ‘76” was jailed for 3 years Eugene Debs, Socialist Party candidate, was sentenced to 10 years in prison- released after war Supreme Court upheld in Schenk v. United States

Think-Pair-Share Does the Espionage & Sedition Acts violate the 1st Amendment (freedom of speech)? Why or How? Should the freedoms and liberties of Americans be restricted in any way during times of war? If so? Which freedoms and liberties and why? If not? Why not?
