Criticizing the government.
During WWI the Espionage Act (1917) and Sedition Act (1918) made public dissent or criticism of U.S. war policy widely viewed — and often legally treated — as unpatriotic or even criminal. Rationing and women taking jobs were promoted as patriotic; discrimination against Germans was commonly (though wrongly) seen as patriotic, not unpatriotic.
