Many Americans were against getting involved in a War that was being fought in Europe though begrudgingly Americans became aware there was danger on the High Seas as Atlantic waters became host to submarines while warships dueled in the waters of the South Pacific and Atlantic.
Many Americans, particularly the Wobbles, the IWW International Workers of World (rightly) argued that the main reason for fighting would be to profit by various means profits that would mostly land in the pockets of International Bankers and Industrialist, the Halliburton of the times.
Not much really.
The government did not really govern the big business and they could basically do what they pleased. But as the journalists and writers and the workers started bringing all the bad things the big businesses were doing to the light of day the government started intervening just a little. A landmark law passed at the time would be the <span> Sherman Act that was against the trusts. </span>
No clue what to say to this, i've seen it posted on this website here before tho
<span>The </span>Sherman Antitrust Act<span> (</span>Sherman Act, 26 Stat. 209<span>, </span>15 U.S.C. §§ 1–7<span>) is a landmark federal statute in the history of </span>United States antitrust law<span> (or "</span>competition
law<span>") passed by Congress in 1890. Passed under
the presidency of </span>Benjamin
Harrison<span>, it prohibits certain business activities that
federal government regulators deem to be </span>anti-competitive<span>, and requires the federal government to
