All kinds of signs were made to promote supporting the war such as signs for victory gardens and liberty bonds.

    This poster is describing how the people back home we're trying to make than men in the army feel comfortable and help them out. They wanted to help them win the war in every way possible even though they weren't in it.

  • It was used to get rid of all German activities or German culture in America. America banned all German literature classes and they even changed the name of the hamburger to liberty steaks. America wanted everybody to be against Germany. It impacted German communities in a bad way because they were automatically disliked by Americans because they had German ancestry. WORKS CITED:

  • The four minute men were a group of volunteers put together by the government to give 4 minutes speeches about issues that the CPI gave them to talk about.  They shaped public opinion in America by reaching out to countless citizens about the war and building confidence and unity in the US towards the war.
