//Dear Congress,// //I ordered this speech to be presented because of the fatal events leading up to a declaration of war. In the beginning, our country felt bad about keeping out of the war and we originally wanted to stay neutral! We wanted to stay neutral because it meant less men dying and we would prosper in trade much more than if we weren't neutral. Also there is a down side to staying neutral. Our country would have more terrorism and we eventually get dragged into the war.

The main reason for my asking of entering World War 1 is because on May 7th, 1915 a German Submarine torpedoed and sank British passenger ship Lusitania, killing 128 Americans. Although they killed our family and friends I wanted to remain neutral. So I talked to the German government, assuring that no more ships would be attacked. Feeling secure we lead on our normal lives. Then in February 1917, Germany started torpedoing ships including U.S ships.

Sincerely, Woodrow Wilson//



__I Didn't Raise My Son To Be A Soldier__
I raised him up to be my pride and joy Why should he put a musket to his shoulder To kill another mother's darling boy Why should he fight in someone else's quarrels It's time to throw the sword and gun away There would be no war today If the nations all would say No I didn't raise my son to be a soldier I didn't raise my son to be a soldier To go fighting in some far-off foreign land He may get killed before he's any older For a cause that he will never understand Why should he fight another rich man's battle While they stay at home and while their time away Let those with most to lose Fight each other if they choose For I didn't raise my son to be a soldier I didn't raise my son to be a soldier To go fighting heathens round the Horn If God required to prove that boys are bolder They'd have uniforms and guns when they were born Why should we have wars about religion When Jesus came to teach us not to kill Do Zulus and Hindoos Not have the right to choose For I didn't raise my son to be a soldier I didn't raise my son to be a soldier I raised him up to be a gentleman To find a sweet young girl and love and hold her Bring me some grandchildren when they can Why can't we decide that the Empire Is just as large as it requires to be And I'd rather lose it all Than to see my laddie fall For I didn't raise my son to be a soldier**

"I Didn't Raise My Son To Be A Soldier" This song was created because no one wanted their son or loved ones going to war. They thought the men should stay home while the rich men fight. If it was meant to be for those boys to fight, they would have been born with a musket over their shoulder. This affected the war effort very badly. The people did not want to go to war which made it impossible for anybody to agree. If the people didn't want to go then they would have a hard time cooperating with anyone.
