What did the government say about World War 1?
Well most of the citizens of the United States wanted to remain
neutral, they had an "isolationist" feeling, meaning that they
wanted to exclude themselves from international affairs. After more
destruction of allies, and personal ships carrying cargo, Woodrow
Wilson couldn't prevent their entrance to the war anymore. He began
preparations by the Selective Service Act, Victory Gardens, and
Espionage and Sedition Acts (moral support). Once Germany sent the
Zimmerman Note/Telegram to southern neighbor, Mexico, Woodrow
Wilson and Congress aggreed to declare war on Germany.
