World War 1: Did the United States uphold it's ideals at home during WW1?

   The Unties States did not iphold to its ideals during the World War 1. The Conscription Proclamation, the  Espionage/Sedition Act , and the French Directive, all, don't uphold to the American ideal liberty, equality, and democracy.

  The United States doesnt follow through with the ideal liberty. The Conscription Procalmation was one event that caused the United States to not uphild to this ideal. The Conscription forced men 21-30 to register for miltary (war). IT was mandatory for them to registerand if they didn't they were punished ( sent to jail), then were registered by the governmant anyway. This was basically like enforcing work/labor as done in slavery but these actions were abolished by the 13th amendment which therefore would make this law unconstitutional.

  The U.S doesn't follow through witt the ideal democracy. The Espionage Act and Sedition Act was another cause for why the U.S did not uphold to this ideal. These Acts forbitted people from saying or doing/taking action with any negative intentions towards government. The first amendment in the constitution states that Americans are given the right to freedom of speech and freedom of the press. The Espionage Act and Sedition Act took away theseconstitutional right from americans.

  During World War 1 the U.S did not uphold to the ideal equality. "The French Directive" was also the cause for the U.S not upholding its ideals. The American American military leaders were treated inferior to other military leaders. The French military leaders felt as if the more negros that came to the military, the black aspirations which to them ( whites) appear intolerable.Others weren't allowed to eat, talk, meet, shake hands, etc with the black leaders.

  The United States didn't uphold to the ideals liberty, democracy and equality. For example the Conscription Proclamation denied America from liberty, The Espionage /Sedition Act denied the U.S from democracy. and the French Directive denied the United States from equality.

 
 

World War 1: Why did the Untied States enter WW1?

   The U.S entered World War 1 because they were mad, mad i tell you, mad! Its all because of German agression towards America. Germans were killing innocent Americans, the Zimmermann Note, and unrestricted warfare were all signs of agression from Germany which caused U.S to finally retalliate.

   Germany killed several Americans. The sinking of the Sussex killed/harmed 325 Americans in 1916. The torpedoing of the Lusitania killed/ harmes 128 passengers.. The thing about these attacks were that the German torpedoed ships without warning. Americans were angry that they had their peeople dying in ship recks that were not even caused by their own country.

   The Zimmermann Note was another example of German agression. Within this document it sugesst that Germany becomes allies with Mexico which as we know is close to the Untied States. This was Germany's way to gain control/ more power over the U.S ( neutral powered). Germany would soon need this power (ally) because they were planning to begin unrestricted warfare on the 1st of February.

  Restarting unrestristed warfare was another sign of aggression towards America. In 1916 after the sinking of the Sussex. Germany had cancelled submarine warfare because of protest made by the Untied States. In January of 1917 the German government restarted unrestricted submarine warfare in a plan to keep the U.S neutral. From Germany restarting this more Americans would get killed. This evetually convinced America it was time to prtect their country.

The U.S was provoked to enter teh war by German aggression. For example the unrestricted warfare, Zimmermann Note, and the sinking of ships influenced America to become a part of World War 1.
