Verse 1

Johnny,[5] get your gun, get your gun, get your gun.

Take it on the run, on the run, on the run. Hear them calling you and me,

Every Son of Liberty.

Hurry right away, no delay, go today.

Make your Daddy glad to have had such a lad. Tell your sweetheart not to pine,

To be proud her boy's in line.

Verse 2 Johnny, get your gun, get your gun, get your gun.

Johnny, show the "Hun"[6] you're a son-of-a-gun.

Hoist the flag and let her fly Yankee Doodle[7] do or die.

Pack your little kit, show your grit, do your bit.

Yankee[8] to the ranks from the towns and the tanks.[9]

Make your Mother proud of you And the old red-white-and-blue[10]

Chorus

Over there, over there,

Send the word, send the word over there

That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming

The drums rum-tumming everywhere. So prepare, say a prayer,

Send the word, send the word to beware -

We'll be over, we're coming over,

And we won't come back till it's over, over there!!!!!!!

GRAB A SHEET OF PAPER.

ON YOUR OWN.

MAKE A WORK OF ART. INSPIRE THE NATION TO FIGHT…

“OVER THERE”!

Write ½ page on the back…

What, how, main points…

USE FEAR!

The Committee on Public Information was created to rally public support of war.

It was led by George Creel whose job was to sell America on the war and to sell

the world on Wilsonian war goals.

There were over 8 million German-Americans in America, and rumors began to

spread of spying and sabotage. A hysterical hatred of Germans and things related

to Germany swept the nation.

The Espionage Act of 1917 sought to prevent support of U.S. enemies during

wartime. The Sedition Act of 1918 made it illegal to speak out against the

government. Socialist Eugene V. Debs and the Industrial Workers of the World

(IWW) leader William D. Haywood were convicted under the Espionage Act.

At this time, any criticism of the government could be censored and punished.

The Supreme Court upheld these laws in Schenck v. United States (1919); it

argued that freedom of speech could be revoked when such speech posed a danger

to the nation.

The Nation's Factories Go to War

Before the war, President Wilson created a Civilian Council of National Defense

to study problems of economic mobilization. He had also increased the size of the

army and created a shipbuilding program.

Fears of big government restricted efforts to coordinate the economy from

Washington.

In 1918, Wilson appointed Bernard Baruch to head the War Industries Board to

create order over the economic confusion. The Board never had much control,

but it set a precedent for how the Federal government would handle the economy

in times of crisis.

Workers in Wartime

Workers were discouraged from striking by the War Department's decree in 1918

that threatened to draft any unemployed male.

The National War Labor Board tried to fix labor disputes before they hurt the war

effort. The IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) had some of the worst

working conditions in the country. The AF of L's (American Federation of

Labor) supported the war and because of this, membership had more than doubled

by the end of the war.

Wartime inflation reduced wage gains; this led to thousands of strikes across the

country.

In 1919, the greatest strike in American history hit the steel industry. More than

250,000 steelworkers went on strike, seeking the right to organize and collectively

bargain. The steel companies refused to negotiate, and they brought in 30,000

African-Americans to keep the mills running. The strike eventually collapsed,

crippling the union movement.

Thousands of blacks moved to the North in search of war-industry employment.

Deadly disputes between whites and blacks broke out.

Herbert C. Hoover led the Food Administration. Unlike Europe, Hoover did not

want to use ration cards to save food for export. Instead, he initiated wheatless

Wednesdays and meatless Tuesdays. Like the other war administrators, this was

on a voluntary basis.

Congress restricted the use of foodstuffs for manufacturing alcoholic beverages.

This helped to accelerate the move to prohibition. In 1919, the 18th Amendment

was passed, prohibiting all alcoholic drinks.

EVERYTHING IS DUE SOON!

KEEP EVERYTHING FOR NEXT WEEK! READING TONIGHT 714-720!!!

THIS IS FOR THE NEXT 2 DAYS!!!

Did he really

just throw her

baby???

1) Can you remember what Germany did to bring us into

the war? Was it stupid for us to enter the war or stupid for

them to do IT (explain)?

German foreign secretary, Arthur Zimmermann secretly

proposed a German-Mexican alliance with the

Zimmermann note. News of the Zimmermann note leaked

out to the public, infuriating Americans.

2) What did President Wilson do as a result of #1 on April

2, 1917?

On April 2, 1917, President Wilson asked for a declaration

of war from Congress after 4 more unarmed merchant

ships were sunk.

3) What were the 3 main causes of World War one

according to the textbook? Notice that they left out the

opening cause (1914)…Do you agree with the textbook???

3 Mains Causes of the War: Zimmermann Note, Germany

declares unrestricted submarine warfare, Bolshevik

Revolution…MAYBE OUR ALLIANCE WITH GB???

4) President Wilson was “always” supposedly against war…

How did he persuade or trick the American public into

supporting the war?

President Wilson persuaded the American public to support

war by declaring that America would be fighting "for a war

to end war" and "to make the world safe for democracy."

5) DISCUSS WILSONS 14 POINTS (page #707 +

GOOGLE) KEYS***

Please don’t throw my

baby you kind gentle

German!

Which Point was the only one accepted (SUCKS TO BE YOU

WILSON!)

Hint: It eventually leads to a league of nations and the modern United

Nations we have today!

Wilson's Fourteen Potent Points

Wilson delivered his Fourteen Points Address to Congress

on January 8, 1918. The message declared that WWI was

being fought for a moral cause and it called for post-war

peace in Europe. The message gave Wilson the position of

moral leadership of the Allies.

The first 5 points and their effects were:

1) A proposal to abolish secret treaties pleased liberals of all

countries.

2) Freedom of the seas appealed to the Germans, as well as

to Americans who distrusted British sea power.

3) A removal of economic barriers among nations was

comforting to Germany, which feared postwar vengeance.

4) Reduction of armament burdens was gratifying to

taxpayers.

5) An adjustment of colonial claims in the interests of both

native people and the colonizers was reassuring to the anti-

imperialists.

The largest point, #14, foreshadowed the League of Nations

- an international organization that Wilson dreamed would

provide a system of collective security.
