what was one event that occurred around the time the america first committee was founded that demonstrates the strength of isolationist feelings in the United States? (SHORT ANSWER)

Answer 1

One significant event that demonstrated the strength of isolationist feelings in the United States around the time the America First Committee was founded in 1940 was the passage of the Neutrality Act of 1939. This legislation reflected the widespread desire among Americans to avoid involvement in foreign conflicts, particularly in the context of World War II, by allowing the sale of arms to belligerents only on a "cash-and-carry" basis, thus limiting direct involvement.
