Question

read the document carefully, what is debs's or schenck's main message? what does he try to convince his audience?

Answer 1

Debs main message to the audience was that of democracy war that insisted that people were being waged in order to make the world a better and safe place for democracy at the expense of oppressing others. Those who fought for the exploited victims were regarded as disloyal or traitors to their land.
Debs attempts to convince that it's not worth to send people to war for the sake o democracy since democracy itself cannot be forced into any nation but rather it should come pure and spontaneously.
