Bausum, Ann. Unraveling Freedom: The Battle for Democracy on the Home Front during World War I. Washington, D.C.: National Geographic, 2010. Print. In 1915, the United States experienced the 9/11 of its time. A German torpedo sank the Lusitania killing nearly 2,000 passengers. The ensuing hysteria helped draw the United States into World War I. But as U.S. troops fought to make the world safe for democracy abroad, our own government eroded freedoms at home, especially for German-Americans. Free speech was no longer an operating principle of American democracy.
