They worked alongside other government organizations at the time, but mainly focused on producing propaganda. The CPI was important because American spirits needed to remain good. Americans on the homefront were needed to help with the war efforts. The CPI specifically targeted these Americans, in hopes to persuade them to be pro war.

They spoke out that they didn’t like what the government was doing and they didn’t want America to be in the war. The Sedition Act made it illegal for them to speak out against the government, and it caused a lot of controversy.

The case went all the way up to the Supreme court. After the court reviewed his case and trial, they declared the Sedition Act as unconstitutional. This Act violates the first amendment, specifically the freedom of speech. After this court case the Sedition Act was no longer a law.

The government wanted support for Americans for the war. They encouraged victory gardens, liberty bonds, and anti-German hostility. Propaganda swayed public opinion. Everything that happened in America affected the men at war, the government knew this and used propaganda to prevent as much rebellion as possible.

America needed to send for overseas, that way the soldiers would have good morale and remain strong in the fight. A lot of young men were sent overseas. This poster targets the family members of these soldiers, in hopes that they will support the cause and be willing to send food overseas. The government doesn’t want the soldiers to go hungry.(Cook, Jia-Rui. "Posters That Sold World War One to the Public."

This will help the military financially in the war. This propaganda poster illustrates that American would “perish” if they didn’t purchase Liberty Bonds. It even shows the Statue of Liberty telling people they need to purchase a bond. This poster is very patriotic with the red and blue along with the drawing of the Statue of Liberty.

In WW1 they could become nurses or receptionists. Women had a large role in the war, not just through the Red Cross, but also through working in factory jobs. Women were never on the front lines, but some were shipped overseas to care for injured soldiers. This poster is trying to convince American women to join the fight by helping the Red Cross.

The Anti-German propaganda made the people hate anything German, and led them to think that being German or liking anything German was unpatriotic. People would refuse people jobs if they were related to Germany. People died because of this hatred, and German culture in America was greatly affected.

The four minute men were associated with the CPI, who were in charge of Anti-German propaganda. It led people to hate and fear Germany even more. One four minute man spoke about Germany spying on the American people. It led American to be even more pro-war. They were only given four minutes to speak so every word counted. They ended up being very abrupt and swaying public opinion heavily.
