H- In the midst of the Civil War, the United States is still neutral, not yet declaring a side

A- directly to congress,
overall to Americans

Purpose- Encourage Americans to say neutral and calm, not to let their ties to other nations divide us

POV- Wilson believes that the various citizens in American need to stay united, otherwise the united states with be weakened -he is responsible to keep order in such a difficult time

Why- It was a time of unrest and fear for American people and it was important for the president to issue a speech to reassure the people

Wilson believes in a strong sense of neutrality, he thinks if the people focus on their loyalty to America instead of their national ties American may stay at peace. American’s are simply any on who loves America and care for its wellbeing. America naturally has a ‘variety of sympathy’ toward the war effort because all the people and have different beliefs and ideals. Of course, people would want to defend the country of their ancestors.

H(istorical Context)- Since the late 1800s, countries in Europe had been preparing for war with each other. The tension of a war    finally erupted in 1914. Most Americans, while supporting the Entente Allies, didn’t want to be involved in the Great War. America tried to distance itself from European politics and wanted to continue doing so during the war (that obviously worked out)

A(udience)- The intended audience was the American people, especially the few who wanted America to participate in the war. It also sent a message to the already participating countries of America’s stance.

P(urpose)- It’s purpose was to show that while most Americans did side with the Allies, America wasn’t going to give their whole support to either side and continue to trade goods with both. It was also issued to keep Americans from worrying about having to deal with the terrors of war (again, that obviously worked out)

P(oint of View)- The US government and Wilson didn’t want to get involved in a war that seemingly had nothing to do with America.

Y- It’s significant because it shows where America stood for most of the war. While we did end helping and officially siding with the Allies, for the better half of the war we didn’t want to do anything.

Wilson’s perspective- He had promised the American people to keep the country out of the war, but had to finally declare war on Germany. Wilson believed in a free country and a country that listened to its people. Due to the different groups of Americans (German, English, etc.) it was hard to fully decide which side deserved a voice. The German-Americans were inclined to support Germany while the rest supported the Allies. Wilson wanted America to be a nation that were stronger together.

Wilson’s perspective is that because of the different immigrant groups in America, it would be difficult for America to enter the war on either side and not cause a division in its people so it should remain neutral.

Wilson calls anyone who has a love for the United States and a loyalty to its government American.

America would naturally have a variety of sympathy towards the war effort because the American people come from many different countries, many of which were engaged in the war at the time. Therefore joining either side would cause a split in the American people which would have been less than ideal.

A - Woodrow Wilson's speech is directed at undecided or decided Americans on neutrality.
P-most Americans were quite happy that their country had a long tradition of avoiding European conflicts. They did not want to waste American lives on a war most considered pointless, and they did not want to disrupt their economy just to preserve a treaty. But Americans also had strong ties to Europe, namely lineage. Wilson believed that if the United States could act impartially, not favoring one side or the other, it could actually benefit from the war. It could keep its economy strong by providing the European countries with food and supplies, and when the warring countries had had enough fighting, the United States could play the role of peacekeeper.
P- The purpose of his speech was to get heavy words over war and the destruction it will cause. It was a warning to US citizens against taking sides, fearing the endangerment of wider U.S. policy. Also to declare neutrality
Y

P - to convince Americans to support neutrality, condone those who support war, and promote impartiality and freedom.
Y -  This was America's initial stance on the war, and showed a bit of restraint and sense in the Wilson administration.
b) Wilson supports neutrality at this point, and wants to resolve the war without America joining the war. He considers Americans to be people who will support neutrality and friendliness instead of aggression during the war. They variety of sympathy comes from people with ties to the countries at war. German immigrants and Slavic people might support the Central powers, while English or Russian immigrants might favor the allies. if Wilson were to choose a side, it might split different cultures apart, and internal issues could start in the U.S.

H- Historical Context: It's a Declaration of Neutrality
A- Audience: Congress,  The American Public
P- POV: Well, this is a few years before Wilson's reelection, (He Kept Us Out Of The War!!), and by declaring nuetrality he was able to keep his constituants happy, and able to appeal to a wider diversity of voters
P-Purpose: Basically to say that we were to be staying nuetral, yo
Y- Significance: this document shows that America, for face value, we were to remain neutral
b)- Americans are described broadly in Woodrow Wilson's terms, but, are unified in the fact that most, if not all, hail from different countries ( many of which are now at war). The "variety of sympathy" comes from, as the fact stands, that many are immigrants, and that means that they have opposing view point on how America should take a stance (See the Irish, Germans and Jews vs. Protestants). Meaning, with such a ---- in the public sphere, America declared neutrality (for now).
