Liberty Bonds were the name given to a series of bond offerings in the United States to finance World War I. War Bonds (and Defense Bonds) were the bonds issued in the United States during WWII.
A Liberty Bond was a special type of war bond that was sold in the United States to support the allied cause in World War I. It could be redeemed for the original value of the bond plus interest. It was created by Secretary of the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo to raise money from war-supporting Americans by selling the bonds.
Advertising for Liberty Bonds during World War I encouraged citizens to support the war effort by framing bond purchases as a patriotic duty. Campaigns highlighted the importance of funding troops and military supplies, appealing to national pride and a sense of responsibility. Celebrities, prominent figures, and engaging slogans were used to create a sense of urgency and collective action, making citizens feel their financial contributions were vital to the nation's success. This strategy effectively mobilized public sentiment and significantly increased bond sales.
