Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: April 1917: The governor of Minnesota put the State Capitol in St. Paul under heavy military guard. Newspapers filled their columns with rumors of terrorist activities. Then the United States declared war on Germany. In the midst of patriotic hysteria, the state legislature passed a bill establishing the Minnesota Commission of Public Safety to "do ... all acts and things necessary" to defend the state from its enemies. In compelling narrative style, this book offers the first hard look at the motives and activities of this uniquely powerful state agency, which used loyalty as a weapon to protect the existing socio-economic order against a rising tide of radicalism on the home front.

Book excerpt: The Minnesota legislature created the Commission of Public Safety (MCPS) during World War I for military expediency and to combat sedition. One of its first orders created peace officers to protect property. However, most peace officers were neither qualified to protect property nor sought a commission to do it. Instead, they used their positions to fight unions, farmers' organizations, alcohol, and what they perceived as a lack of patriotism. With few exceptions, peace officers were wealthy white men. Because America's involvement in World War I lasted only nineteen months, the MCPS did not have time to achieve a dictatorship as many historians have claimed. Its real power existed in the collaboration of peace officers and the American Protective League, with whom the MCPS had a special arrangement. This thesis includes a database of the 627 peace officers created by drawing biographical information from many sources. This database clarified many trends of the peace officers including demographics and the timing and motivations for their commissions. What actions the peace officers took in their efforts for control and what they viewed as dangerous are important reminders for what can happen when a government assumes too much control.

Download or read book World War I Minnesota written by Iric Nathanson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the United States made a formal declaration of war on April 6, 1917, Minnesotans answered the call to arms. Duluth, with its strategic location at the head of the Great Lakes, emerged as a major shipbuilding center. Over forty thousand men registered for the draft in Minneapolis alone. Yet many members of the state's large German American population struggled with divided loyalties. A xenophobic fervor swept through the state at an alarming rate, forcing the government to establish a Commission on Public Safety to stifle wartime dissent. With more than fifty period photos and illustrations, author Iric Nathanson brings to life the daily struggles and triumphs of Minnesotans in the Great War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the centennial of the First World War rapidly approaching, historian and bibliographer James T. Controvich offers in The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference bibliography yet published. Organized by subject, this bibliography includes the full range of sources: vintage publications of the time, books, pamphlets, periodical titles, theses, dissertations, and archival sources held by federal and state organizations, as well as those in public and private hands, including historical societies and museums. As Controvich’s bibliographic accounting makes clear, there were many facets of World War I that remain virtually unknown to this day. Throughout, Controvich’s bibliography tracks the primary sources that tell each of these stories—and many others besides—during this tense period in American history. Each entry lists the author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, and page count as well as descriptive information concerning illustrations, plates, ports, maps, diagrams, and plans. The armed forces section carries additional information on rosters, awards, citations, and killed and wounded in action lists. The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide is an ideal research tool for students and scholars of World War I and American history.
