Critics of World War I were not necessarily anti-American but often opposed the U.S. involvement in the conflict based on various ideological grounds. Many believed that the war was driven by imperialist motivations and capitalist interests rather than genuine democratic ideals. Others argued that participation would lead to unnecessary loss of American lives and entangle the nation in European conflicts. Prominent figures, including pacifists and socialists, voiced their dissent, advocating for neutrality and peace instead.

How did the government respond to the critics of world war i?

The U.S. government responded to critics of World War I through a combination of legislation and propaganda. The Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 were enacted to suppress dissent, making it illegal to criticize the war effort or government policies. Additionally, the government promoted patriotic propaganda to rally public support and discredit anti-war sentiments. These measures effectively stifled opposition and fostered a climate of conformity during the war.

What are Anti war protesters?

The United States experienced two eras of massive "anti-war" protesters: The US Civil War and Vietnam War; both of which were actually "anti-draft" protesting, under the disguise of anti "war." The vast majority of protesters were "draft aged males" and associated persons (personal friends, wives, girlfriends, mothers, etc.). All US wars have had some anti-war protesting, from the Mexican War of 1846 thru the American Indian wars, even WWI & and very quietly the Second World War, but only the American Civil War in the 1800s (19th century) had military conscription, consequently the "draft riots" (anti-war protesters).

Where can you find the history of the anti-war movement in the sixties?

There are a number of American History books that address this subject, and here are a couple of books I know about, which deal specifically with the anti-war movement: "An American Ordeal" by Charles DeBenedetti and "Telltale Hearts" by Adam Garfinkle. Also, most libraries have microfilm of the New York Times, which covered the anti-war movement, as did the Boston Globe, Washington Post, etc. There are also several individual memoirs-- Todd Gitlin's "The Whole World is Watching" is a good one (Gitlin was a war protester in college; today he is a sociologist), as is James Carroll's "An American Requiem" (he and his dad vehemently disagreed on the war-- he was an anti-war priest and his dad was in the military!).
