Excerpt from Civil Liberty in War Time: Paper Presented at the Forty-Second Annual Meeting of the New York State Bar Association, Held in the City of New York on January 17 and 18, 1919
In no field was this temper more evident than in the attitude cre ated by these unofficial organizations toward unnaturalized Germans and austro-hungarians throughout the country. Early in the war these people were naturally regarded by the public as the largest potential element of danger in this country. The expression alien enemy, used in the old internment statute of 1798 to describe these unnaturalized residents, in and of itself carried the impression of hostility to this country. Thousands of intelligent citizens and some important newspapers advocated the internment indis criminately of all alien enemies. And no amount of statistics on their loyalty or of good conduct on the part of this large class of persons seemed to have the effect of lessening the agitation.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an attorney general with an influential role during the U.S.'s involvement in World War I, explores how civil rights were upheld in a time of heightened national sentiment. The author recounts the balance between protecting the nation's safety and safeguarding individual liberty during an era of fear and uncertainty, when the nation relied on the loyalty of its citizens and the enforcement of wartime laws. The author discusses the multitude of ways that wartime emotion was used to justify prejudice and repression, particularly toward German immigrants and pacifists. The book examines how the nation's legal framework held up under the strain of wartime necessity, the ways in which the public's trust in the government's capacity for justice remained strong, and the complexities of American ideals of fairness during troubled times. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
