Wilson managed dissenters (resisters) during World War I
by sentencing them to hard labor on chain gangs
drafting them into the war
mass deportation
enacting laws to restrict freedom of speech

Accepted Answer

Here is your solution: #(a)# ⚹ During World War I, President Woodrow Wilson and the United States government faced significant dissent at home. To manage this dissent, the government enacted laws that restricted certain freedoms, particularly those related to speech and expression. The most notable of these laws were the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918. These laws made it illegal to interfere with military operations, to support U.S. enemies during wartime, to promote insubordination in the military, or to interfere with military recruitment. Additionally, the Sedition Act extended these provisions to include speech and the expression of opinion that cast the government or the war effort in a negative light. ⚹ #(b)# ⚹ The enforcement of these laws led to the arrest and conviction of many individuals who spoke out against the war or the draft. Notable cases included the conviction of Socialist Party leader Eugene V. Debs and the case of Schenck v. United States, which established the "clear and present danger" test for limiting free speech. However, the options provided in the question, such as sentencing dissenters to hard labor on chain gangs, drafting them into the war, or mass deportation, were not the primary methods used by the Wilson administration to manage dissent during World War I. ⚹ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ enacting laws to restrict freedom of speech ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ The Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ These laws were enacted during World War I to suppress dissent and restrict freedom of speech, particularly in opposition to the war effort or the draft. ⚹◊How did Wilson handle dissenters during World War I in terms of labor and freedom of speech restrictions?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
