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.

Germany
The "public" was being drafted into military service; which influenced public opinion, which in turn influenced the protests and riots against the war.
Before WW I, American public opinion turned against Germany following persistent attacks by submarines on merchant shipping. The most notorious sinking was that of the passenger steamer RMS Lusitania on 7 May 1915 when 1198 out of 1959 passengers and crew were killed. The RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner, and was was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat. In the case of WW II, the surprise attack of Pearl Harbor turned us against Japan which prompted her ally Germany to declare war on us.
