The Government had the full backing of the vast majority of the informed public and the Army had more volunteers than they needed. More important perhaps is that troops had the blessing of public opinion.

How did the zimmerman note affect American public opinion about the war?

The Zimmerman telegram to the German ambassador in Mexico was saying Mexico should enter World War I on the side of the Central Powers. This will get the US to fight on two fronts if it entered the war. If Mexico followed this telegram, it could've gained some of the land it lost during the Mexican-American War in 1846, like California, Nevada, Texas, Arizona, and other states in the region. Since the British intercepted the telegram and reported it to the US, this shifted US public opinion to pro-British and anti-German.

What was the US response when world war 1 started?

When WWI began, the US was largely divided on the issue on entering the war and remained neutral for the better part of it. However, when German U-Boats began attacking US ships, military or civilian, public opinion gradually turned against Germany. The final straw was when the US intercepted a transmission from Germany to Mexico telling them to attack the US to keep them out of the war. After that, the US joined the war.
