During World War I, the Wilson Administration feared dissent would harm America's effort to win the war. Through the Espionage and Sedition Acts, they were able to criminalize any and all forms of dissent.
This exhibit uses documents from the National Archives-Central Plains Region to tell the story of the "war at home" and the constitutional crisis it created.
It will be on view in the main lobby of the Central Plains Region, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., from September 4 – November 24, 2006.
The Central Plains Region is one of 14 facilities nationwide where the public has access to federal archival records. It is home to more than 43,000 cubic feet of historical records dating from the 1820s to the 1990s created or received by nearly 100 federal agencies. The Central Plains Region houses records from the states of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
