The Sedition Act of 1918 .
Most likely your referring to the Espionage acts which made it illegal to do anything that hindered the ability of the army to recruit, perform operations, and maintain morale through spreading doubt or supporting the enemy cause. This was accompanied by the Sedition acts which made it illegal to speak ill of the government or the United States and due to its infringing upon the First Amendment was later repealed but these were only during war time.
