The Wilson administration wanted to ensure the spread of dissent within the US during war was limited as much as possible. Woodrow Wilson and Congress passed the Sedition Act of 1918 as a means of stifling any negative comments made against the US government. This act was aimed at socialists, pacifists, and antiwar activists.
