European immigrants and their children faced a unique position in America. Many who had come from Austria-Hungary and Germany still felt connected to their home countries and cultures, but now, as Americans, found themselves at war with those very nations. Others who held beliefs considered radical or “anti-American” were viewed with suspicion. German-Americans, labor activists, suffragists, immigrants, African American activists, and socialists were subjected to threats, harassment, imprisonment, and physical violence. German Americans were especially viewed with suspicion and were seen as having “divided loyalities” because of their immigrant heritage. Many German Americans lost jobs, and some were even lynched. German towns changed their names, and orchestras stopped playing German music. Hyper-vigilance (paranoia) on the home front led to spontaneous outbreaks of violence against groups whose loyalty to the United States was considered suspect.At the same time, civil liberties and freedoms were sharply curtailed (limited) under the justification of wartime. The Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 criminalized the expression of antiwar sentiment and criticism of the US government and armed forces. Voluntary associations were created to identify dissidents (those who disagreed with the government), and many of these worked together with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to patrol the home front and punish perceived “enemies,” or those deemed to be participating in anti-American activities. Often times, this legislation was used as an excuse to jail and/or deport radical activists, socialists, and labor leaders organizing workers to protest. This trend is most famously exemplified in the Supreme Court case Schenck v. United States (1919). Charles Schenck, a socialist and anti-war activist, distributed pamphlets persuading soldiers to resist the draft. He was arrested and charged with violating the Espionage Age. Schenck sued, saying his First Amendment rights were being violated. The Supreme Court decided against Schenck, saying that in times of war, freedom of speech can be limited if it presents a clear and present danger, much like shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theater. This ruling created the Clear and Present Danger Test, which is still used by courts to judge whether or not freedom of speech must be limited because it causes a danger to society.QUESTION 410 pointsHow did the US restrict people's rights during WWI?

Use the excerpt to answer the question.“African Americans likewise benefited from the demands of war. At the start of the struggle, their unemployment rate was twice that of whites, and many of the jobs they held were unskilled. Blacks became increasingly assertive. The Pittsburgh Courier, a widely circulated black newspaper, proclaimed a “Double V” campaign—V for victory in the struggle against the dictators abroad and V for victory in the campaign for equality at home. Even before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought the United States into the war, A. Philip Randolph, head of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, proposed a massive March on Washington under the slogan “WE LOYAL NEGRO AMERICAN CITIZENS DEMAND THE RIGHT TO WORK AND FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY.” He agreed to call off the march only when FDR signed an executive order creating a Fair Employment Practices Committee (FEPC) to investigate complaints about discrimination and take appropriate action.”https://ap.gilderlehrman.org/essays/world-war-ii-home-front How did World War II influence civil rights for African Americans?ResponsesWorld War II motivated American support of African American protests for civil rights and an end to all forms of discrimination immediately after the war.World War II motivated American support of African American protests for civil rights and an end to all forms of discrimination immediately after the war.World War II provided African Americans more opportunities in the United States military and workforce, which led African Americans to be more assertive in protesting for civil rights in the decades following the war.World War II provided African Americans more opportunities in the United States military and workforce, which led African Americans to be more assertive in protesting for civil rights in the decades following the war.In order to meet the needs of factory employment during the war, the Federal government outlawed racial discrimination throughout the nation, which gave African Americans a platform to demand equality in civil rights.In order to meet the needs of factory employment during the war, the Federal government outlawed racial discrimination throughout the nation, which gave African Americans a platform to demand equality in civil rights.World War II provided African Americans more opportunities in the United States, but failed to gain any American support for social equality after the war.
