I’m working on a history discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.
22-1:
- Why did the editors believe that war was “the last of the great battles for Freedom and Democracy”?
- According to the editors, what were the advantages and disadvantages of going to war?
- Why was cooperation between government and private enterprise so important? How would it affect the war and the expected peace?
22-2:
- What is the significance of Debs slogan “Vote as you strike and strike as you vote?
- Why did Debs object to Wilson’s pledge that the war would make the world safe for democracy?
22-3:
- What was the soldier most afraid of? Why? What did he mean by the term, “the cause”?
- To what extent did the soldiers’ combat experiences seem different from his prewar life? Dis his prewar experiences and expectations seem to influence his life as a soldier?
Comparative Questions:
- In what ways did the editors of the North American Review‘s arguments about American war aims differ from Deb’s views?
- How does the doughboy’s letter reinforce or dispute the pro-war stance conveyed in the North American Review?
