Presentation transcript:

Selling the War Part 10

The government needed to raise money for the war. They did this by increasing several kinds of taxes and by selling war bonds.

Famous people spoke at rallies to promote the sales. Newspapers and billboards carried advertisements free of charge.

To popularize the war, and demonize the enemy, the government created the Committee of Public Information (CPI). It was the nation’s first propaganda agency.

The agency was headed by George Creel. He had been a muckraking journalist.

He used artists and advertising people to create thousands of posters, paintings, and cartoons to promote the war. He distributed the pamphlets in many different languages.

Attacks on Civil Liberties The war brought out anti-immigrant feelings. Immigrants from Germany were often targeted for attack.

Americans with German sounding names lost their jobs. Orchestras refused to play German music. Some towns with German names changed them.

Congress passed the Espionage and Sedition Act to punish people who fought against the war effort. People could not interfere with the draft or obstruct the sale of war bonds. They could not even speak against the war effort.

These laws violated the spirit of the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech. The law led to 6,000 arrests and 1,500 convictions for antiwar activities.

The Chief targets of the Espionage and Sedition Acts were socialists and union leaders. Labor leader Eugene V. Debs was jailed for making a speech about the economic causes of the war.

The Industrial Workers of the World urged workers to strike. This was considered an antiwar activity, and the received jail sentences.

The war brought many social changes for African Americans and women. African American W.E.B. Du Bois believed that helping the war effort would help the fight for equality.

Others believed that blacks should not help a government that did not support equality for everyone.

The war sped up the Great Migration. This was the movement of thousands of African Americans from the South to cities of the North.

They wanted to escape racial discrimination. They also wanted to find jobs in Northern industries.
