Summary

[edit]
Description

Local Accession Number: 2073

Description: The war message to Congress came on the evening of April 2, 1917. President Wilson's determination to preserve America's rights to freedom of the seas (concretely, to sell supplies to the Allies) in the face of desperate and ruthless German submarine warfare had at last canceled out his determination to preserve America's neutrality. "German submarine warfare against commerce is a warfare against mankind," he cried. "The world must be made safe for democracy."
