- Description:
- While Alabamians united with their fellow Americans behind the war effort, some doubts remained about their country's involvement in a fight primarily between distant European powers. Some were suspicious of the blind patriotism of those who urged American participation, while others had reservations about the legality or necessity of conscription, the first "draft" of Americans to fight since the Civil War. They expressed these concerns to their representatives in Washington, D.C., who themselves had some misgivings about America's entry into the war.
