Group+2+President

To The People Of The United States, It's a diffucult decision but I have realized that we have to enter this war. If we don't enter this war we could be at even greater risk of being attacked. Trust me when I say this was a very hard decision and I made it with the thought of all people in my mind. In saying this I hope that you have realized that we have to send our young men out. We have tried everything to stay out of this because I know that most of us do not want to go to war,especially now when we are advancing even more. I belive if we go to war it will make the world safe for democracy. If the world is safe for democracy we will be alright. The more we try to avoid this the more danger we get into with the Central Powers. The German warfare made me realize that we are not safe right now. There can be more attacks on us. This will get worse and worse if we keep ignoring it. Sincerely, Woodrow Wilson

The song "I Didn't Raise My Son to be a Soldier" is a very convincing song. It was written to try to convince mothers not to let their boys go to war and let the men who started it fight it themselfs. It also says why should their son go kill another mothers boy. This really hurt the number of people entering the war. Nobody wanted to go. With people listening to it it really showed them that it was true and why should they have to kill another mothers boy.
