Support or Silence

Although many Americans supported the United States involvement in World War I, there were some who were against sending young men to die in a war in another country. President Wilson did everything he could to gain support for the war and keep its opponents quiet. To gain this support, he had films , posters, and booklets made to show that " Great War" was being fought between the sides of good and evil. He had his opponents silenced with his use of emergency war powers.
Do you think his methods are helpful or harmful to Americans at home and fighting in the war? Explain

    1. i do agree with you because people were safe and not hurt. at the same time though a lot of men could've been hurt and that wasn't safe at all.

    2. i agree with you because even though the method may be harmful it can be helpful in a way of helping others in war

  2. i believe this is a harmful method because there was a war which was of course world war one, a lot of men could have die in it for joining. although it is a sacrifice but it was still dangerous to go fight back. on the other hand it was helpful because president wilson was able to support like as keeping people safe from getting hurt and not die.

  4. I agree with this because I wouldn't want to send young man in to war just to die because its a waste of time also killing men that are at a very young age. Also I think this is harmful because your sending people out on the battle field that don't really know how to fight and there dying for no reason and families are very worried so this is very harmful.

  7. I think that president Wilson's methods to fight were both helpful and harmful because he had posters promoting the war that encouraged people to fight the war and booklets to join the army and help the good side win. The methods were harmful because he wasn't taking the opinions of the american citizens because of his use of emergency war powers, so the american people had no say in joining the war. So i think that there are two sides to the argument that they were harmful

  8. in some way i think that his methods both help and harmed the Americans at home and that are fighting in war.More people argreeing with the war means like more combat for the america because the more people on your side means more defense and supporters. Futhermore in other ways he has done something wrong as putting the children in more danger then they already are in.-----shenikua(aaliyah tasher nugget bars for life)

  9. I believe his methods were very helpful, because sending young boys into the war wouldn't be the smartest choice by letting them risk their lives.Additionally, they are " young boys " which makes them unexperienced, with anything related to war tasks. - Karen and Chaniece 803

    I dislike President Wilson's idea and methods to join and support the war. First of all, he should not even have supported the war because when America joined the war, WWI just dragged on longer and many men and military supplies were wasted. Although Wilson's idea of making war seem like an adventure to young inexperienced men was a clever one, having inexperienced soliders would be a setback to the military. When young men did join the war, they would have regretted their choice to join. Moreover, President Wilson should not have silenced his critics because those critics could have saved America by making Americans reluctant to join the war. If, America had not joined the war, time, money, supplies, and the military force would all have been saved.

  17. President Wilson actions were harmful for the war because he evoked the 1st amendment right of freedom of speech. This was harmful for the united because this country was built on the on these amendment rights so taking them away is basically taking a big step backwards.

  18. I think that his methods were helpful at the same time Russia was in a state of emergency so their effort in the war is dwindling and they needed a strong army to take their spot. He wants the people that didn't support the war to see the films and booklets so that they can change their perspective on the war and want to support the war.

  20. I think his methods were helpful because he made the people who were against him thinking that it will be a great cause.By making them think they were fighting the evil. On the other hand his method was harmful because many young men are gonna die in the war. But they'll end up in a better place even though their families are gonna miss them.

  21. There are many reasons why this method is harmful to the Americans at home and fighting in the war.To begin with they were sending people out and just let them die.This is harsh and they pull people out of the family and send them to the battle field and let them die out there.Secondly,President Wilson said that he will let America stay out of World War one but he change his mind and let people participate in the war.Lastly,many people in America supported the United States involvement but if people just join in then the war will be bigger and more people will die and more families will be taken apart and send to help the war.Therefore these are reasons why this method is harmful to the Americans at home and fighting in the war.

  22. In my opinion i think President Wilson's method was harmful to America. It harms the people because they don't know the opposing side's perspective towards the war, or who's the bad guy. However if these people join the war, they are most likely not experienced and not trained which would lead to problems.

  23. President Wilson'S methods were harmful to Americans. To begin with, when he prevented people from speaking their mind on not joining the war. This wasn't fair because all individuals should have freedom of speech. Furthermore when Wilson made all the advertisements saying the good are facing evil it wouldn't be truthful. He is trying to get people to support the war, expressing it as a duty to participate. However it is exaggerated on actually winning the war would be a simple job. Overall President Wilson's strategies to get citizens to enter the battle were him acting like a hypocrite.

  27. I think that president Wilson's method of interfering in the war is wrong because he did and post many things about the war, which caused many innocent lives to go in vain. Many people died since the president was running out of men, he had to send people that weren't fully prepared for the war. Although there are some negative affects in joining the war, there are also some benefits too. After joining in the war, and having people to know what's going on by handing out posters and pamphlets, the president was able to use the people for emergency war situations. Since the president has made the announcement towards the citizens, everyone participated in the war and won against their opponents which means that they earned their own peace from other futuristic wars.

  31. In my opinion, I believe that President Wilson's methods were mostly harmful because many people were silenced. People who were against the war did not have a voice in the argument. The president did everything he could to make everyone who were against this quiet. Also, the posters, films, and booklets made the public and anyone who fought in the war mad because they thought it was extremely offensive because they could be from the country at war or offensive to people who were against the war. -Ricardo Reyes 802

  33. I think these methods were harmful. Its harmful toward the experienced young men that would be sent to the war. There families would be worried sick because they don't know if there coming home alive. It wouldn't help America in any way or form by sending young men to die at war. If America wants to send people to war they should be sending people with experience.

    I think president Wilson's method is both harmful and helpful to Americans at home and fighting in war. This method is harmful since sending inexperienced and untrained young men can vigorously cause unreasonable deaths to occur.It can also waste many needed war munitions and supplies , along with many valued lives. However,it could be helpful since it wont make the country look weak and this method is a good experience for future references . Such like , using better technique with better supplies in war. Overall , his method can be either one ; harmful or helpful to Americans at home and fighting in war.

  38. In my opinion, I believe that President Wilsons idea was harmful. First of all, Many people weren't really ready while joining war. Imagine one day while you as a farmer and growing crops , and suddenly a group of recruiters came and forced you go get ready in a war. You would be very confused and feel unsure because you would be leaving your family alone, and might never see them ever again. You guys would be probably thinking that your lives would go on a risk because of how many people wouldve die in a war especially it's a World War.Since there were running out of men, it doesn't mean that you can send unprepared people for the war. Further on, Sending unexperienced young men to war isn't going to help winning the war. So, in my opinion, i think that President Wilson's idea was harmful...

  41. his methods were both helpful and harmful. his methods were helpful by gaining support from others so that we could win the war. other people would support him instead of the opponent because they were technically shut down because due to all these posters, books, movies, and videos most of the people supported president wilson. this is harmful because he was abusing the power it is that he had over the people. it wasnt right but it worked. he didnt hesitate in trying to make the other side look bad. it just wasnt right and he was abusing the power he had.

  45. I think that his method to try to get Americans to join the war was harmful and helpful. The way that it was helpful was that he helped the Allies defeat the Germans and got revenge for sinking the Lusitania. For example, by helping the allies by sending tanks or machine guns, they can overpower the German forces and win the war. The way that it was harmful was that by going into war, many young men died. This affected many families and even if the men survived they came back with horrible memories. The soldiers may come back with PTSD or may be physically and mentally injured.

Also with the president that is leading the war it wont be very sucessful if the leader keeps on changing his opinion about being in the war or out the war.

  51. I think President Wilson's methods are not good because, trying to get people to get involved in a war is not a good thing. Not only one war leads to another, people, soldiers of America are harm in the process. Plus, if this one war may be prevented, many other would be able to too. This way, a lot of unnecessary loss could have been avoided.

  53. These methods that hes using are very harmful to the opinion or voice of the people actually battling in the war. The method of silencing the peoples opinions of whats actually happening during the war and the amount of loses caused by it, since only the presidents opinion or side is being heard no one knows what actually is happening on the battle field and how many people they are losing just because of this war. So the people that actually know the truth of whats happening have no say to fix it because their not allowed to speak their side.

  54. The President's idea was harmful to United States because sending young men to war who doesn't have any experience is just to send them to death. For instance, if you are a young farmer who works in field is suddenly force to join the war they will probably have the highest chance of dying. Since they are farmers, all they do is grow crop to sell and earn living from it. If they fight in the war they would likely die since they aren't trained or have any experience. Also if all the farmer left to join the war there will be no one left to grow food to support the soldiers.

    3. Yes, women can take over men's job, however can you insure that they can do all the work men do? Also there will the thousands of untrained soldiers, will they have enough time to train all of them?

    4. During the Civil War, the women proved that they could do the jobs that the men did. If they train the farmers ahead of time, I'm sure they'll be ready.

  56. In my opinion, I think that his method was harmful to Americans at home and fighting in the war. It shows that he's selfish,risk so many lives , wasting more supplies and money. He sending innocent young men to the war they might be untrained and they could died in this young age . Their parents might feel sad about it. And people have their own choice for if they want to go to war or not. Also, if President Wilson didn't want to have war then we will not losing innocent life, supplies and money.

  57. i think his methods was helpful to the soldiers who fighting in the war. keep the America away from war, means that soldiers need to go back, do they really what to go back?it waste too much time, additionally,country need them for protection. you don't want to fight other, that don't means people don't want to fight you. so i think, join the fight is the best way of protection.

  58. I think his method is harmful because the american wasn't really involved and they are just sending people to die and causing more problems and have enemy. Can't they just have peaceful life ? So I think that his way is harmful many people and they can not get involved in such dangerous thing why do the have to. There can also be more problem other then the war is you silence the opponent.

  59. I believe that Wilson's plan was harmful to the citizens of the US. He puts up all these posters saying that the war is good because we're defeating the evil. But it isn't right. Sacrificing all these innocent lives to fight the "evil", its's not worth it. He's just making the war worse by including the country in it. It's already bad as it is, but he's throwing more coal into the fire. He tries to convince people that they should fight in a war, it's like he doesn't care for the citizens of the country. His methods were harmful and selfish, the US had to stay out of the war.

  60. Wilson's methods are harmful because he was sending men to battle to die, most of whom didn't support the war or the fact of leaving their family at home and not seeing them again.His methods would cause Americans to worry for their loved ones and mourn for them when they find out their loved ones were dead.His plans are also harmful for America because it would weaken America and will cost the Americans to repair the damage done during the war.- Mohammad Ikbal 814

  61. i believe his method was harmful, he only tell the positive side of war and don't let the others tell the other side. this is basically letting the soilder go die without knowing the danger. it is unfair to them because they go withall hope and think they will come back with victory but they actually die duringf the war.

  62. I believe that Presidents Wilson's methods were both harmful and helpful. It is harmful because sending a bunch of untrained and inexperienced men out to war will have no affect on the enemy. Instead it will kill thousands and countless number of American citizens. Futhermore, you are losing money and weapons to prepare for the war. Wilson's methods could also be beneficial because America is helping other countries lives by risking some of their own people. Wilson will make America stand strong and not weak if there allies win. They are helping what they believe is good. Also, Wilson's method can help them be more experienced in war planning when future war occur. Therefore, Wilson's method are both harmful as well as helpful.-Angela Zhang

  64. His method is harmful to Americans at home and fighting in war because the films and booklets show how great it is to go into World War One and it will be all worth it. However the the people won't know the danger that is there and go into the war without knowing they can be dead but you really know what you are dying for. It can be put as they do not know what are they getting them self into the reason is President Wilson is only telling how good is it but not how dangerous it is.

  65. I think president Wilson's method is both harmful and helpful to Americans at home and fighting in the war. It is harmful to them because they were making a whole bunch of untrained and unskilled young innocent men to go off to fight in the war. So, they were just wasting and risking valuable lives of these young men for no reason because sending untrained and unprepared men is not going to help them win the war. Instead, they are just wasting supplies.But, his idea can also be helpful because the troops needed more men and the more men you have, the more stronger you look. Also, it can help you in the future because you will know which improvements you need to make. As a result, president Wilson's idea can be both harmful and helpful.- Maytha 814

Such as , using better technique to help win the war. As an result , President wilson's method can be either one ; harmful or helpful to Americans at home and fighting in war.

  67. I think his methods are helpful to Americans at home and fighting in the war. President Wilson does everything he can to support the war and makes its opponents quiet. To gain this support, he has films, posters, and booklets. Due to his use of emergency war powers, his opponents have been silence. On the other hand, it is also harmful in some ways. Soldiers volunteer to fight in the war when they see that World War I is being fight between the good and evil. However, many will die on the battlefield. When their family members know about the sad news, they moan, due to sadness for losing someone. It's risky to lose many lives.-Li Zhi Lin 814

  68. i think the method were harmful for the america because it might make the america weak. if america involved in war they they might lost a lot of soldiers which will make the america's weak.it will harm america's economic because after the war government have to spend a lot of money for reconstruction.american president publish many book to encourage people to involved in the war. many people read those book and decided to involved in the war where they were going to die.people were taking risk on their life after they know that they will die. if it is going to happen like this will will destroy the america.

  69. This method can be helpful and harmful at the same time. President Wilson made films, posters, and booklets. This method can be helpful because this will motivate soldiers to fight for their country. America joining the war will be a big advantage for their allies. However, this can be a bad thing also. Since this is not war that America doesn't involve in, they shouldn't even be fighting in the first place. American soldiers will die by joining this war. Innocent American soldiers will risk their lives just by joining this war. - Ethan Bugna 814

  70. i think his methods had mixed opinions. It was both helpful and harmful. It was helpful because it showed isolationists that the war was important. It showed the people that the war was very big and it gave patriotic winnings in the end to gain supporters. In the other hand, this was a bad thing because more lives are being risked to war. Young lives and men are being tempted to go into war in other countries.

  71. I think his plan was unsuccessful and harmful because of all the risks. If the president send young men and farmers its basically useless because they aren't trained and mature.The men also would die more faster than real army trained men.Also if most of farmers die the countries crops production would drop. Then after the men's families would also wont earn money and live with the family's leader gone.In conclusion,the president plan is horrible and useless in advance the country is losing something than gaining.

  72. I think President Wilson's method can be both helpful and harmful to the Americans. It's helpful for the Americans who were in the war because it can encourages more people to join in the war and help the soldiers. As more people join into the war, the more chances the America will win.On the other hand, President Wilson's method is harmful to the Americans at home because the Americans at home doesn't really know what is a war like and how dangerous is the war. Sending these innocent people may even makes the war worsen and risk more innocent lives.-MeiYan Li 814

  75. I think president Wilson's methods were helpful and harmful,because he make posters,films,and more to persuade people to go the war.And,he don't led people who against with him to speak why he did it.Also,some people that stay in home don't even know what is,people just know the good thing that he say,and don't know how dangerous it is. -An Jie Zheng 804

  76. In my opinion i think his method was being helpful and harmful to america because the information might send out how awful the battle really is and it is going to make american people feel like they need to be part of it to support their country, But at the same time sending those innocent people in may cause more casualties than expected, because no one know how risky it is or how a war is going to be like.

  78. Do you think his methods are helpful or harmful to Americans at home and fighting in the war? Explain
    I think that being involve in to a war is not something that good because being the war their is too much things that we could loose.I think that it doesn't really meaner to fight it nothing good you won't get anything even you won't the war,you can own these land and have power you are still loosing many,some people's family are working in army why they have to fight for your greedy.What Wilson was doing are hurting american.If you loos the war,what your citizen gonna do?why they have to pay the price for your greedy.Some people don't want to start a war,and because of the president's choose they have to fight even though they don't want.Well starting a war is a choice that's making whole country get in trouble.GOOD VS EVIL putting him self good and make other country seems bad.Every one that against to him are been tell,this is what we should do not what we can or want to do.It not a choice it a task.
