The Espionage Act was passed in 1917, right when the United States entered World War I. Considering that the US was about to enter a huge war, the federal government wanted to make sure that American citizens were loyal to the cause and would not disrupt or go against anything being said about the war effort. With the Espionage Act, the federal government made it illegal to say anything negative about the government, the war effort, or the US government in general.

Based on the summary provided, it is clear to see that citizens 1st amendment rights of freedom of speech were severely limited, as saying something bad about the government or being anti-war could land a person in jail. This also limits the freedom of the press (also part of the 1st amendment). Newspaper writers who disagreed with the war or spoke negatively about how the government was handling the war could be arrested for their writings.

Why did American forces have difficulty fighting against the Vietcong guerillas?
ddd [48]

Answer:

Firstly most of the war was fought as a guerrilla war. This is a type of war which conventional forces such as the US army in Vietnam, find notoriously difficult to fight. Conventional forces are easy to identify, guerrillas are not. In Vietnam the Vietcong were peasants by day and guerrillas by night.
