What events during the World War1 undermined civil liberties?dream theater

There was much "Anti-Hun" talk and feelings in American during WWI. The words hamburger and German measles were replaced with Liberty Sandwich and... Okay, I can't remember... but it wasn't German measles. =D

President Wilson formulated the Sedition Act of 1918. This act forbade Americans from using, "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" about the United States government, flag, or armed forces while we were at war. The act also let the Postmaster General deny mail delivery to anyone that was considered a dissenter of any government policy during wartime.

Before this had happened, the Espionage Act Was passed in 1917. This law set punishments for acts of interference in foreign policy and espionage. This act also gave heavy fines and prison terms to anyone who tried to stop the military draft or encouraged "disloyalty" against the U.S. government.

The Palmer Raids were named after Attorney General to Wilson, Icantrememberhisfirstname Palmer. These raids were controversial and carried out by the U.S. Justice and Immigration Departments during the years 1919 to 1921. If you were suspected of being a leftist radical your home/business could be searched for evidence to convict you of espionage or treason.
