Because of Propaganda by FDR to tilt public opinion, which was about 50/50 between neutral & allied.

Actually, WWI was before FDR's time.... it was mostly just a very successful propaganda campaign by the British. It's been said that the Germans had to live down this propaganda in WWI, but in WWII; they lived up to it.
