According to the headlines and the first two paragraphs, why did the American government
have to convince Americans to join the war effort? - answer✔The American Government had to
convince Americans to join the war effort because the government did not have time to just
wait for citizens to decide if they wanted to join the war or not. Propaganda was one of the
ways that pushed Americans to join the war effort because they were everywhere and they
provided key messages about the war.
The article lists a number of reasons why posters were a great medium to communicate with
the public. In your own words, explain two qualities of posters that made them the ideal
medium to convince Americans to join the war effort. - answer✔One quality that made posters
an ideal medium to convince Americans to join the war effort is that they were so inspirational.
Posters "sold the war", they inspired Americans to enlist, pick up the flag, and support the
country. Posters are what informed the public of who the enemy was or created fear among
citizens. Posters are what convinced citizens that the war was just and inspired Americans to
participate in the war in all the ways they could. Another quality that made posters the ideal
medium to convince Americans to join the war is that they were easy to reproduce and display.
Who did the US government and chairman of the Division of Pictorial Publicity hire to make
these illustrations? - answer✔The US government and chairman of the Division of Pictorial
Publicity hired Charles Dana Gibson to make the illustrations. Gibson was one of most famous
American illustrators of the period and was president of the Society of Illustrators.
What does that tell you about how seriously the government took this campaign? -
answer✔This tells me that the government took this campaign very seriously. By hiring Gibson,
America was able to reach out and enlist the country's best illustrators and encourage them to
volunteer their creativity to the war effort. Which means the government wanted the best of
the best to design these illustrations, so a lot of emphasis was put on the propaganda to
encourage citizens to participate in the war.
According to David H. Mihaly, why did posters sell the war? - answer✔The posters sold the war
because the posters were the ones to inspire Americans to enlist, to pick up the flag and
support the country. They made Americans in some cases fear an enemy or created a fear an
American didn't even know they had. The United States needed to convince their citizens that
this war was just, and that citizens needed to participate and not sit and watch.
How did posters speak to the American public? - answer✔The posters displayed good and evil
to make Americans stare and the suffering found in the posters was hard to ignore. The posters
were almost uncomfortable to look at but they easily caught the attention of citizens. The
posters told you how to help, and "the look in the eyes of Uncle Sam makes sure you do".
Financial support - answer✔These posters encouraged Americans to buy the first four Liberty
Loans and later, the Victory Liberty Loan. Additionally, they advertised other miscellaneous war
bonds and war savings stamps.
Recruitment - answer✔These posters encouraged enlistment in the United States Army, Air
Force, Marines, Navy, Tank Corps, American Field Service, Radio Signal Corps, and a variety of
local and state regiments - including the National Guard.
Patriotic - answer✔Patriotic posters, produced by the government and a variety of state civilian
associations, encouraged farmers, workers, women, and children to engage in war work and
support their country's war effort. Among those encouraging general patriotism are warning
messages to watch for spies, avoid rumors and avoid "war talk".
Conservation - answer✔Conservation posters encouraged citizens to conserve food, fuel, and
other supplies for the war effort. These posters were usually aimed at women and children on
the homefront.
Relief - answer✔These posters requested aid for foreign countries, children, families, and
soldiers in support of the war effort.
Foreign - answer✔The smallest category of posters were foreign posters. These urged
Americans to support the Allies against the aggressors in Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Organizational - answer✔Organizational posters related to various relief and membership
efforts by the Red Cross, the YWCA, the YMCA, and other organizations. These were used to
fundraise and encourage Americans to volunteer.
What is a military draft? - answer✔A military draft is a system of mandatory army service of
eligible young men.
Why do you think it was instituted after the US officially entered WWI? - answer✔After
entering into WWI, the United States immediately needed to expand the size of its military.
Given that the United States did not have the time to wait for eligible men to volunteer to enter
