As the presidential election of 1916 approached, Wilson emphasized \u201cpreparedness\u201d in speeches and parades designed to show that he and the nation were not timid, but ready for war, if necessary. At the same time, he campaigned and won the 1916 election under the slogan \u201cHe kept us out of the war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"662\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Colgate-Youths-companion-Cover-October-1918-662x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25495\" style=\"width:662px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Colgate-Youths-companion-Cover-October-1918-662x1024.jpg 662w, https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Colgate-Youths-companion-Cover-October-1918-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Colgate-Youths-companion-Cover-October-1918-768x1187.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Colgate-Youths-companion-Cover-October-1918-993x1536.jpg 993w, https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Colgate-Youths-companion-Cover-October-1918-1325x2048.jpg 1325w, https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Colgate-Youths-companion-Cover-October-1918-scaled.jpg 1656w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/nby_793790-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Colgate&#8217;s Ribbon Dental Cream,&#8221; in <em>The Youth\u2019s Companion <\/em>(1918)<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the spring of 1917, the Allies were running low on money and supplies, and Allied troops had been decimated.

President Wilson made a concerted effort to maintain public support for his policies through propaganda as well as legal prosecution. Americans participated in countless parades and commemorative events to demonstrate, first, preparedness, then support for the war. In April 1917, soon after the American declaration of war, his administration formed the Committee on Public Information (CPI) and hired writers and speakers to promote the war effort throughout the country. People who opposed the war, such as reformer Jane Addams and Senator Robert La Follette, were subject to public ridicule. With the passage of the Espionage Act (1917) and the Sedition Act (1918), critics of the war effort became subject to fines and jail sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"899\" src=\"https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Life-Mammas-Boy-p186-detail-1024x899.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Life-Mammas-Boy-p186-detail-1024x899.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Life-Mammas-Boy-p186-detail-300x263.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Life-Mammas-Boy-p186-detail-768x674.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Life-Mammas-Boy-p186-detail-1536x1348.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Life-Mammas-Boy-p186-detail-2048x1798.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/nby_509343-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Mamma\u2019s Boy,&#8221; in <em>Life <\/em>(1918)<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__nav-link\"><span class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__title-wrapper\"><a href=\"#\"><span class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__title\">Standards<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__tab-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__tab-content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Illinois Social Science Standards<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This lesson supports the following standards from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.isbe.net\/Documents\/IL-Social-Science-Standards.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Illinois Learning Standards for Social Science<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SS.9-12.H.4.
