Should true Americans/Patriots give up personal freedoms in the war?


True americans/patriots shouldn't have to give up their personal freedoms during the war, it should be something that they willingly do. If they feel strongly enough about the war and believe that it is something needed, then they will do what they have to. If they feel strongly enouugh about giving up these freedoms, they should be fighting in the war. Perhaps suggesting or attempting to give up some rights is something that can be considered but i dont think that taking away their freedoms would be best to do during war.

Yellow Journalism

McKinley; “weak and a bidder

for the admiration of the crowd.”


Early February 1898, a stolen letter from the Spanish ambassador to Washington, Dupuy de Lôme, describes McKinley as “weak and a bidder for the admiration of the crowd." The Spanish ambassador wrote this letter in criticizing our nation and our leader. They doubt our capability to run our country. The ambassador see's the nation as weak and an easy target. The letter is our proof that we need to go to war before the United states is seen as a weak nation instead of a super power.
