Changes From the Progressive Era
In this period, people are no longer being given more freedoms and rights, freedom of speech is taken away with the Espionage and Sedition Acts because they country is in total warfare. The United States also breaks their abstinence from foreign affairs by joining the war.
Core American Values
Nationalism: During the war, common things were "Americanized" to appeal to nationalist people. German Shepherds became Liberty Pups, and war bonds were called Liberty Bonds.
Perseverance: Americans believed that if they worked hard enough to support the war effort, they would be successful. Things such as rationing were done to help support the troops and be victorious.
Adaptability: The United States used to have a policy against foreign interactions, the Monroe Doctrine, but it's was violated in order to protect democracies and fight monarchies in World War One.
