I think they are anti-american because they aren't appreciating the freedom already given to them. Many citizens in countries around the world have it way worse than Americans. In my opinion an American should fight for that freedom given to them. The United States shouldn't have entered the war and they did so it's an American's duty is to fight.

 According to Debs, how did the government arrange O’Hare’s arrest?

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Debs and Schenck are patriotic because they are caring about the image of America Schenck says, "To advocate the persecution of other peoples through the prosecution of war is an insult to every good and wholesome American tradition". This is patriotic because he is showing that he cares about American he is showing that he cares about america and the thing that they are doing is un-American.

I think that we should consider people who spoke out against WW1 as patriotic because they were attempting to improve the government by providing their insight. Charles Schenck was a great example of this, speaking out about how we were not acting like a democracy and "You are a citizen; not a subject!" The government really wasn't being a democracy through the Sedition Act, which stated "Whoever, when the United States is at war, shall willfully utter... any disloyal... language about the form of government of the United States or the Constitution of the United States... shall be punished by a fine... or the imprisonment..."

Do you think Debs and Schenck were anti-American? Why or  why not?

were using their right to freedom of speech. They weren't directly going against the government or being a violent threat against them; they were just expressing their opinions which happened to go against what the government was doing

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think Schenck was anti-American or a Patriot?

# data[].attributes.body

This is patriotic because he is showing that he cares about American he is showing that he cares about america and the thing that they are doing is un-American.

I believe that standing up for what you think is a hard thing to do. That's why saying what you think to the whole nation is even harder. These man came out and called out our leaders. The fact that in some way we have more power than them because got them is office to lead.

They weren't directly going against the government or being a violent threat against them; they were just expressing their opinions which happened to go against what the government was doing. It was said that "they are your servants, not your masters." "Will you allow them to unjustly rule you?" They're calling out the government for what they're doing and trying to help show Americans what they are supporting by not speaking out or doing anything about it.

# data[].attributes.body
They are not patriotic, they went against their government and their people. Protesting the country at a time like this is bad choice.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we should consider the critics of WW1 patriotic. The reason why I think that is because we need to be able to speak our minds and call out the government when it makes a mistake. One mistake the government made was neglecting the duty to assert the peoples rights. Another mistake was creating laws that allowed them to arrest people who were saying things that the government didn't like and ignoring our freedom of speech.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it could technically go either way. I think that they were patriotic for the reason that the president sent us to war to try and keep the country safe. I also think that they were anti-american because they had started to send people to jail if they spoke out against the war. If a citizen had said anything that was talking bad about the war they would be sent to jail because "they were going against the country" in a way. This made it anti-american because they were taking away their rights that had been given to them (freedom of speech).

I’d say Patriotic, because the war was very meaningful considering their countries and what they wanted for their people and themselves; they wanted better. It was a very positive base when Debs began agreeing to have men settle for war and basically make the U.S. sort of a better base on what should have or needed to happen within themselves. And the fact that Debs went to prison kind of showed how strongly his comment was and what people thought about it and how they took it.

# data[].attributes.body
Is it such a crime to exercise the rights we have when born into the U.S. When we are born we are given laws that let us have the freedom to speech letting us say what we please but even then they create laws against that very thing letting us not be able to speak our mind and show what we believe. So why would we be put in jail by exercising a right when we are just thrown in the same country that gave us the right.

# data[].attributes.body
It is obvious how these "critics of WW1" were patriotic. Everyone else thought it was patriotic to go to war with other nations across a sea, which does not help the nation itself (at least that was not how it was promoted) It was promoted to spread democracy. That doesn't sound like being patriotic, that sounds like imperialism in a sens. However, these "critics" were trying to improve their home country like Alice Paul who tried speaking up for women's rights and many others.

# data[].attributes.body
If you love something and it's broken you will try and fix it. that is what these men were trying to do but they were met with harsh reactions to there good that they were trying to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they are anti-american because they aren't appreciating the freedom already given to them. Many citizens in countries around the world have it way worse than Americans. In my opinion an American should fight for that freedom given to them. The United States shouldn't have entered the war and they did so it's an American's duty is to fight.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they were patriotic because Debs stated that it was the rich and the government that got to choose to go to war the normal citizens did not get a say and that is not how a democracy is run. Schenk was also patriotic because he stated we were just going out there and getting people killed for no reason which shows he cares about the people of the country, so I think that they were patriotic.

# data[].attributes.body

The fact that in some way we have more power than them because got them is office to lead. "They are your servants; not your masters.". They also called the fact that we have no voice to start a war. The "high" people chose war but we have to fight them. "No power was delegated to send our citizens away to foreign shores to shoot up the people of other lands, no matter what may be their internal or international disputes".

# data[].attributes.body
I think the people against the war and government were patriotic because they spoke out even though it was against the law,

# data[].attributes.body
They critics are using their freedom of speech that the government wrongly took away from them

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they are patriotic because if the judge hadn't made that ruling against both Deb or Schenck. And judged them according to the already existing laws, then neither of them would have been put in jail.

# data[].attributes.body
The critics should be called patriotic because they were pointing out flaws that could be fixed. In Schenck's speech he says: "No specious or plausible pleas about a "war for democracy" can becloud the issue. Democracy can not be shot into a nation. It must come spontaneously and purely from within." This tells us that we can't bring democracy to other countries if they don't agree with it. they have to come up with it themselves.  "They are your servants; not your masters. Their wages come from the expenses of government which you pay. Will you allow them to unjustly rule you?"
From a different point of view you have to understand that these people who volunteered to fight in this war needed the support. They would have a greater chance of dying without it. The government silenced them because they were at war. "When the United States is at war...or shall willfully utter, print, write, or publish any language intended to incite, provoke, or encourage resistance to the United States"

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they were patriotic because they were trying to improve their government and do what they thought was best for their country. In Charles Schenck's speech he says, "They are your servants; not your masters. Their wages come from the expenses of government which you pay. Will you allow them to unjustly rule you?" Our government is supposedly a government for the people by the people, but what this war represents is not showing that at all. Also in Deb's speech he says, "The master class has always declared the wars, the subject class has always faught the battles," This shows that he is trying to make our country into a democracy again, but he cannot because no one will allow him to shed any light on what is actually happening.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people opposing the war and how the government is, is patriotic. Not agreeing with what is happening in our country is not being anti-American. People used their freedom of speech to go out to try and help

# data[].attributes.body
They are defending what they believe in and are using expressing their freedom of speech. And there are always two opinions to each argument about which way is right.  Schenck says in his speech "They are your servants; not your masters. Their wages come from the expenses of government which you pay. Will you allow them to unjustly rule you?" and he is saying that the people are the masters because they are the ones going to war and they are the ones fighting the fight not the rulers who are deciding that the people will go to war. Debs says similar things about the rulers verses the people. They are patriotic because they point out that the people are the ones who fight the wars and are being treated unfairly by their leaders.

I think that people opposing the war and government were patriotic because they spoke out even though they knew that they could be charged because they cared that much about our country and they wanted it to be the best that it could be. They said something because, "in neglecting to assert your rights, you are (whether knowingly or not) helping to condone and support a most infamous and insidious conspiracy to abridge and destroy the sacred and cherished rights of a free people". They believed that laws keeping them from speaking were against the constitution and that the government was now treating it as a, "mere scrap of paper".

# data[].attributes.body
He was not violating any reasonable laws and the only real reason he was imprisoned was because he objected to the way they were going to war.  Schenck said that "You are a citizen; not a subject!" he was standing for the voice of the people when he said that. "Are you willing to submit to the degradation of having the Constitution of the United States treated as a "mere scrap of paper"" was also stated in Schenck's speech-he was standing for the Constitution if that isn't patriotic than nothing is.

I think people opposing the government is patriotic because they spoke out even though it was supposed to be against the law. They cared about the country and what they thought was right so they spoke out to try and help. The government wasn't really being a democracy.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they are patriotic because all they are doing is showing and sharing their opinion of the war. They are using their freedom of speech. But because of the laws that they added made it seem illegal but I think that the US just wanted to make people only think America is doing good and they were acting authoritarian. The only reason they were arrested is because the laws were made to prevent anti-government actions but we can't control everyone and everyone has their own opinion, so we cannot control everything people say.

# data[].attributes.body
I say that Deb's and Schenck are patriotic because all they are trying to do is give their opinion about what the war really is about. They are also being loyal and are caring in a way about the country, by tell people what the government truly is about. Here is a quote of how Schenck is being patriotic " They are your servants; not your masters. Their wages come from the expenses of government which you pay. Will you allow them to unjustly rule you? ". This indicates how Schenck talks about how the people are the ones to be able to have a say and that they are the ones that fight for the country.

I think we should refer to them as patriotic because their privacy with the Espionage Act were being taken. They had no control over their own words and weren't allowed to speak for their country. Choices in this war time were made for them and their freedom of speech was limited.
