Debs was already a leader of the Socialist Party, and along with many of its members, opposed the war. He argued that it was a war of the upper class, and a war from the roots of imperial expansionism. He was imprisoned for 10 years for violating the Espionage Act, which forbade any antiwar sentiment, which he was also against.
