-----------------------
The effect of the war upon the United States will depend upon what American citizens say and do. Every man who really loves America will act and speak in the true spirit of neutrality…The spirit of the nation in this critical matter will be determined largely by what individuals…do and say, upon what newspapers and magazines contain, upon what ministers utter in their pulpits…The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name during these days that are to try men’s souls. We must be impartial in thought as well as in action…
Source: President Woodrow Wilson From a speech to the U.S. Senate, 1914
Neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples…
We have no quarrel with the German people. We have no feelings toward them but one of sympathy and friendship. It was not upon their impulse that their government acted in entering this war…We are accepting this challenge…to fight thus for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its people, the German people included…The world must be made safe for democracy…
Source: President Woodrow Wilson-From a speech to Congress, April 2, 1917
…whoever, when the United States is at war, shall willfully utter, print, write, or publish…abusive language about the form of government of the United States, or the Constitution of the United States…or the flag of the United States…shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than twenty years, or both…
