- Summary:
- "Wisconsin responded to the nation's entry into World War I with loyalty and patriotic fervor. Wisconsinites of all ages and backgrounds made sacrifices, lost loved ones, endured shortages, bought war bonds, grew vegetables in victory gardens, volunteered for the Red Cross, and went to work in war factories. While Wisconsinites supported the war effort in ways too numerous to count, they also debated the wisdom of war, the necessity of conscription, how to fund the war, and the constitutionality of civil liberty restrictions"-- Provided by publisher.
