Some expressed loud support, many were indifferent, and others voiced outright opposition. All were agreed, however, that the best place to start guaranteeing freedom was at home. Almost immediately, rumors spread across the nation that German agents were engaged in "Negro Subversion" and that African Americans were potentially disloyal. Despite mounting a constant watch on black civilians, their newspapers, and their organizations, the domestic intelligence agents of the federal government failed to detect any black traitors or saboteurs. They did, however, find vigorous demands for equal rights to be granted and for the 30-year epidemic of lynching in the South to be eradicated. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xAfrican Americans 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical persecution$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xParticipation, African American 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xAfrican Americans. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aPolitical persecution$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xParticipation, African American. 676 $a940.4/03 700 $aEllis$b Mark$f1955-$0852220 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449739203321 996 $aRace, war, and surveillance$91903064 997 $aUNINA
