civil rights affected during WWI
How were civil rights affected during WWI?
- What were the roles of the Espionage Act, Sedition Act, the Red Scare, and the Palmer Raids and how did they reconcile with the values of freedom and constitutional principles in the Bill of Rights. What did the war achieve?
- Why were certain people or groups targeted in this time? Do you see any parallels in this period with the ongoing “global war on terror” as it has been dubbed post-September 11th, 2001? How does this apply to whistleblowers like former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden and others, including Julian Assange, who was on trial for WikiLeaks in the UK at the behest of the US, where officials have invoked Sedition/Espionage terminology?
