Why were Americans angry with the sinking of the lusitania ship?

There were 197 Americans on board when the U-20 sank the Lusitania.
The loss of 127 lives was reason enough for a little bitterness. President
Wilson objected to the German government and for some time the U-Boat
attacks were restricted. Wilson was running for his second term as the
"Peace Candidate" and he won in part because he "kept us out of the war". Times and public sentiments change and the US declared war on
6 April 1917.
AnswerOf the 197 American aboard, 128 were lost in the U-20 attack on 7 May1915. Seeking re-election, President Wilson was the "peace" candidate
and made only minor protests to Germany. After he won a second term
in office his and the public's sentiments changed and war was declared on
6 April 1917. The sinking of the Lusitania is still considered as the reason
for US entry into WW1 although that didn't happen for almost two years.
