Popis: During World War I, an unprecedented civil-military relationship developed among the U.S. government, its military, and civilian society. America struggled to find fair conscription policies despite class, ethnic, racial, and ideological differences. The effort to mobilize public opinion divided the country and created an atmosphere that made pacifism, ethnic pride, and radicalism difficult and even unacceptable. Moreover, a sense of loyalty to America’s fighting men along with a fear that unemployed veterans could become subversives, motivated the War Department to actively find jobs for returning soldiers.
