Throughout 1916, and in early 1917, many Americans clung to neutrality. However, the \u201cpreparedness\u201d movement was making inroads toward wider acceptance. Anthems such as Wake Up America!<\/i> helped turn public opinion in favor of supporting America\u2019s entry in the Great War. Recorded in February of 1916, the song calls upon its listeners to remember previous wars, and \u201cthe peace that fighting brought.\u201d On the cover, Uncle Sam is shown launching a ship into the sea as he is surrounded by soldiers preparing to make the voyage across the Atlantic. This imagery illustrates the position of the preparedness movement – that America should have a full army stocked with tanks and airplanes ready to depart for Europe.<\/p>\n
