Wilson was a Democrat from New Jersey
As President, he signed some progressive reforms, like the Keating-Owen Child Labor Act
However, he invited controversy because of his views on race. He supported segregation, and even had a screening of “Birth of a Nation” (a movie that celebrated the KKK) in the White House.

25. Were critics of World War I
Today’s Objective
Were critics of World War I
anti-American?

26. How did Americans feel? Public opinion on WWI was divided in the U.S.
Some Americans, notably socialists, Christian pacifists, anarchists, women’s groups, unionists, and intellectuals, opposed the war.
Some of these pacifists believed war was immoral.
“Radicals” believed the government was entering war not to “make the world safe for democracy,” as Wilson claimed, but rather to serve the interest of capitalists.
Other Americans strongly supported U.S. entry into the war in light of the Zimmerman telegram and the sinking of the Lusitania.

27. How did Wilson manage?
In 1916 President Wilson won re-election running on the slogan “He Kept Us Out of War.”
After the revelation of the Zimmerman telegram and Germany beginning a program of unrestricted submarine warfare that threatened U.S. commercial shipping, Congress declared war in April 1917.
That same month Wilson established the Committee on Public Information, a propaganda agency that galvanized public support for U.S. war aims. The president pushed through Congress the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918, which suppressed anti-British, pro-German, and anti-war opinions.
Over 1,500 people were prosecuted and over 1,000 convicted under these laws, many for small acts of dissent. His administration saw the arrest and deportation of many foreign-born, antiwar radicals and drew closer to pro-war unions.

28. Discussion
What did President Wilson do to promote nationalism and restrict dissent during WWI?
Based on what you know about WWI, do you think these were necessary decisions? Why or why not?

29. Do you think Debs and Schenck were anti-American? Why or why not?

Do you think Debs and Schenck were anti-American? Why or why not?

Schenck spent 6 months in prison.

38. Seneca Falls, New York 1848
In the early 1800s, many women were involved in the abolition (anti-slavery) and temperance (no alcohol) movements
A group of women and men gathered at a conference in Seneca Falls, NY in 1848
This conference was led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott
Conference attendees wrote the Declaration of Sentiments

39. Fifteenth Amendment, 1871
Granted African-American men the right to vote
Disappointed many women who thought African-American men and women would be enfranchised together
African Americans were split over whether men should get vote before women

40. Frederick Douglass, 1869
“When women, because they are women are dragged from their houses and hung upon lamp posts; when their children are torn from their arms, and their brains dashed upon the pavement Then they will have an urgency to obtain the ballot equal to our own.”
But was this not true for black women?
“Yes, yes, yes. It is true for the black woman but not because she is a woman but because she is black!”

41. Before 1910 National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA)
Big leaders: Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Two big strategies:
Try to win suffrage state by state
Try to pass a Constitutional Amendment (but this would need to be ratified by 36 states – or three-fourths)

42. Susan B. Anthony
In the late 1800s, Susan B. Anthony tried several times to introduce an Amendment bill for women’s suffrage, but it was always killed in the Senate.
Susan B. Anthony

43. Anti-suffragists
Those who opposed extending the right to vote to women were called anti-suffragists. Many anti’s were women.
Political cartoon mocking anti’s: “O Save Us, Senators, from Ourselves!”

44. Beliefs of Anti-Suffragists
Women were high-strung, irrational, and emotional
Women were not smart or educated enough
Women should stay at home
Women were too physically frail; they would get tired just walking to the polling station
Women would become masculine if they voted

45. Map of Women’s Suffrage Before 1920

46. The Next Generation Elizabeth Cady Stanton died in 1902
Susan B. Anthony died in 1906
But in the early 1900s many young, middle-class women were going to college and joining the suffrage movement
Many working-class women also joined the cause, hoping the right to vote would help improve working conditions

47. Safe or Sorry?
Carrie Chapman Catt led the National American Woman Suffrage Association. She believed in:
Careful state-by-state strategy
Supporting President Wilson even though he didn’t outright support suffrage because Democrats were a safer bet than Republicans
Acting ladylike so as not to embarrass the movement

48. National Woman’s Party
Alice Paul led the NWP and believed in more aggressive strategies:
Focused on passing a Constitutional Amendment
Adopted un-ladylike strategies from British suffragettes (e.g. heckling politicians, picketing)
Refused to support President Wilson if he wouldn’t support woman suffrage
NWP members were arrested for picketing in front of the White House. They were put in jail, went on a hunger strike, and were force-fed.

49. 19th Amendment, 1920
Tennessee was the 36th state to ratify, and it passed by only 1 vote.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

You read the Declaration of Sentiments from , which spoke about what life was like for women in the mid-19th century.
By the beginning of the 1900s, many women were going to college, and many women, especially on the East Coast, were politically involved in Progressive causes—helping urban poor, Settlement Houses, temperance, muckraking, etc.
Still, many people continued to oppose woman suffrage.
