For what reason did the council of defense use intimidation? to destroy the socialist party to force support of war to end segregation laws to support womens' rights

Hi!,

If you talk about the American organizations called "Councils of Defense" during the First World War, their primary objective was to achieve the population's support for the war effort. This network of Councils, which functioned both at federal and state levels, used intimidation, coercion and investigated or reported any dissent against the war with the Central Powers.

This methods reflected the general climate regarding the War that the majority of Americans experienced after Germany's declaration of war against the US.
