Sedition...

Every citizen in entitled to their own opinion. they are allowed to speak their mind. But during a time of war that seemed almost ludicrous. it was highly looked down upon because the country wanted to enforce Loyalty. Even though you may think that you are loyal to your country, but just have a different opinion, your country sees that as unloyal. the country was highly afraid of immigrants and scared to know just how unloyal they were. with all these people no wonder they tried protecting their reputation. but in a sense that is wrong, but the country intruding on our civil rights, its defying all that we set out to be in the beginning...free. even in a costly time we should still be allowed to speak our mind, practice our religion and be who we are. but in the defense of the country we should also enforce loyalty and prove to the U.S that we are on their side and understand the time of need.
