"Investigate Everything"
Author: Theodore Kornweibel, Jr.
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 9780253109231
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Free speech for African Americans during World War I had to be exercised with great caution. The federal government, spurred by a superpatriotic and often alarmed white public, determined to suppress any dissent against the war and require 100% patriotism from the black population. These pressures were applied by America's modern political intelligence system, which emerged during the war. Its major partners included the Bureau of Investigation (renamed the FBI in 1935); the Military Intelligence Division; and the investigative arms of the Post Office and State departments. Numerous African American individuals and institutions, as well as 'enemy aliens' believed to be undermining black loyalty, became their targets. Fears that the black population was being subverted by Germans multiplied as the United States entered the war in April 1917. In fact, only a handful of alleged enemy subversives were ever identified, and none were found to have done anything more than tell blacks that they had no good reason to fight, or that Germany would win. Nonetheless, they were punished under wartime legislation which criminalized anti-war advocacy. Theodore Kornweibel, Jr. reveals that a much greater proportion of blacks was disenchanted with the war than has been previously acknowledged. A considerable number were privately apathetic, while others publically expressed dissatisfaction or opposition to the war. Kornweibel documents the many forms of suppression used to intimidate African Americans, and contends that these efforts to silence black protest established precedents for further repression of black militancy during the postwar Red Scare.

A Question of Sedition
Author: Patrick Scott Washburn
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
"A Question of Sedition is a book that students of the Roosevelt years and indeed anyone who cares about the First Amendment right of free speech will want to read. It is the first book to examine the attempt by the Roosevelt Administration to use its special war-time sedition powers to suppress the major black newspapers during World War II. Drawing on interviews and pages of government documents, many recently declassified, Washburn describes how Attorney General Francis Biddle stood in the way of Roosevelt, despite enormous pressure, because of his own strong commitment to Constitutional principles.
