Uncle Sam Wants You! American Citizens and their Obligations on the World War One Home Front  
MIT's Christopher Capozzola will discuss how, during the First World War, Americans contemplated, debated, and enforced the obligations of citizenship, with legacies that reverberate today. Drawing heavily on the history of New England communities, and looking in particular at military conscription and wartime policies regarding bonds and taxes, this talk explores a crucial moment in America’s history and its lessons a century later. Free!
