We discussed the American homefront during WWI today then examined various interpretations of the reasons America joined the war.  Interestingly, Hutchison's 2nd and 3rd period classes were almost unanimous in their agreement with Howard Zinn's thesis on the causes of American intervention, while 4th period was split pretty evenly three ways between Zinn's economic theory, Wilson's "moral imperative" justification, and the textbook's more practical causes argument.

After exploring the causes, we came back to the effects for Americans with a discussion over sedition in WWI, then wrapped up the period analyzing some propaganda posters in our DocBlock.

Don't forget, Chapter 24 is due tomorrow!
