Answer 1

The following responses are relevant to how World War I propaganda affected Indiana:

• Teaching German in schools was banned.
• Anti-war talk became illegal.

The sentiment during World War I, influenced by propaganda, led to a strong anti-German sentiment, which resulted in the banning of teaching the German language in schools. Additionally, laws such as the Espionage Act and Sedition Act made anti-war speech illegal, affecting public discourse in Indiana and beyond. The other statements regarding immigrants and the general consensus on the war are not accurate. Most Hoosiers supported joining the war effort, influenced by national propaganda.
