What was the impact of the civil war on civil liberties?
Below are some of the ways in which World War I had an impact on American civil liberties: -Committee on Public Information propaganda effectively cast Germans as evil force in World War -Espionage and Sedition Acts (Loosely worded laws which gave the government wide authority to prosecute war critics) -Numerous arrests and convictions with long prison sentences for those seen as "disloyal" -Supreme Court upheld acts, using "clear and present danger" doctrine to limit free speech in time of war -Persecution of radicals: Wilson administration focused on IWW and Socialist Party as targets of suppression
What were known as the wobblies?
"Wobblies" is a nickname for members of the International Workers of the World, the IWW, which was an attempt to create an international trade union of working people, to seek better pay and working conditions. Some Wobblies were probably also socialists or communists. They were against WWI, pointing out, quite correctly, that who was mostly going to get killed was working men from all the nations involved, who had no larger stake in the issues of the war, and did nothing to get it started. Critics of the Wobblies said "IWW" stood for "I Won't Work", and there was a lot of official governmental persecution and resentment, just as there was of every manifestation of the trade union movement, as all these movements sought to improve the lot of the working people, by making the rich owners and managers share a little of wealth created, and be a little less rich and greedy. Those wealthy owners and managers always have a lot of clout with the government, though, naturally, so they can get the forces of "law and order" to help them hang on to the loot. There is a well-known song sung by folk singers and labor people called "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night", about a Wobbly leader shot by a firing squad in Utah, after being convicted in a kangaroo court trial on some trumped up charges.
What opposition was there to conscription in World War 1 in Canada?
From the '60s BBC series about WWI I remember they said that there was surprisingly little opposition to the conscription when it was introduced in 1916. The British government expected hundreds of thousands of protesters on the streets, but it turned out to be only a couple of thousand, and the protest didn't last long In Australia there was resistance from many different sections of society. The Archbishop of Melbourne Daniel Mannix, who famously referred to the war as an imperialist one said that Australians, especially Catholics should not be involved it. Many of his followers sypathised, although this was likely a result of British action in Ireland during the Irish revolution in 1916. Resistance also came from the IWW (international workers of the world) who were a political force in Melbourne at the time. They organized many protests against the war and united workers and unemployed. It's also worth mentioning that Australia's Prime Minister at the time, W.M. 'Billy' Hughes, was fanatically pro-Conscriptionist because he believed that Australia's long-term survival as a regional power depended upon her being involved in the war. He went about introducing conscription in a very combative, dictatorial manner, forcing it through Parliament like a juggernaut and angrily demanding that it be supported by all sectors of society throught the whole Continent. This totalitarian, bullying approach served to alienate many people who might otherwise have considered conscription as a necessary evil in order to secure Australia's long-term survival as an independent, viable nation.

How were called the workers of IWW?

Can you be in unison and iww?
Yes you can. Most IWW members are 'dual carders', being both members of the IWW and their industry specific trade union. While the IWW are cool with this, Unison bosses (and many of the mainstream union bosses) are certainly not, and there have been witch hunts in the past to expell know radicald from Unison. Don't let that deter you though, just don't go round shouting about your IWW membership to the Unison leadership! With membership on the rapid rise, and groups of IWW workers winning some decent vocitories, there's never been a better time to join the One Big Union!

How does iww compare to afl and cio?
The IWW is a much smaller labor union than the AFL-CIO, but is often more principled from a class-consciousness standpoint. While the AFL-CIO is often willing to compromise and collaborate with the capitalist system, the IWW is a regular critic of capitalism and (though not explicitly political) has leanings toward anarcho-syndicalism and socialism, along with their philosophy of "One Big Union". Historically, the AFL excluded non-whites and women from their union in the early 20th century, while the IWW welcomed people of color and women.

IWW
