Also, following our lecture, we will watch a short video to give us a good idea of what the United States was dealing with at this time. You all will be split up into teams of 3-4, and we will play a review game on the material we cover today.

Today we talked about the effects that WWI had on the home front. We discussed things such as the Selective Service Act of 1917, the Sedition and Espionage Acts, and how the mobilization of the economy affected the war abroad. We reinforced what we learned in the lecture with a video and review game. Tomorrow we will focus more on the home front as a whole.
