Class Blog U.S. Nuetral during WW1?

Was the United States practicing neutrality in the events leading to World War II?
Personally when presented to the facts I honestly think that the U.S. wanted nothing to do with the war except of course with the profit that was being made to the war. I dont really think that it was much of a practice of neutrality but a practice of greed. Of course that is not what the public was blinded with, many people thought it really was America Practicing Neutrality but I think it was simply all about business. Which in many ways make sense why would America go into a war that has nothing to do with them, why would they travel across the Atlantic just to go to war? Perhaps the only actual reason would be to boost their economy to make more money from death. Is this selfish? In many ways I think it is, but the problem of all countries is to have the money to support their people.

Get "Over There"

Throughout history there has been one object, one simple beat, one simple slap of the hips and hands that have moved every soul, and that is music. Music has always played throughout history and has moved men and women, though music can be used in many ways one way is propaganda. And in all Honesty I believe the song "Over There" by George M. Cohan was perhaps one great example of music being used as propaganda. One may ask the question on how it was even though it was not intended, well the answer lies in the lyrics take into account the words such as
"Make your mother proud of you,
And the old Red, White and Blue."
I can say of course that perhaps in that time most treated it as a just a tune that others could use to help them understand what an American is going through but in a more comedic way. Though there are of course the majority who saw this song as a calling, a calling to go to war and fight as a Yank, to be a proud Yank and fight those Germans. I can not though really say that perhaps George intended to use this song to boost morale for war. Critics called it the marching song for war and perhaps that was the intention but I can not say with certainty that that was what he intended.
