<em>The image had been useful for boys and girls in the early1900s in that it could put pressure on the parents to support World War 1.</em>
The United States government declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917, entering World War 1. The U.S. government needed money for the troops, weaponry, and supplies needed for the war. So one of the best ways to get the money was convincing the citizens to give money for the war effort. The way to do it: government bonds. The method to convince them: propaganda. So President Wilson used this kind of propaganda using kids to influence parents to buy bonds and help with the war effort.
