Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1917 Charles Schenck, the general secretary of the Socialist Party, prints and mails more than 15,000 copies of pamphlets to men drafted into the military to fight in World War One. Drafted meaning that, under the Selective Service Act, they HAD to enlist, whether they wanted to or not. So what did these pamphlets say? Well basically, resist the draft. The pamphlet said the draft was basically no different than slavery, which of course goes against the Thirteenth Amendment, ya know. It’s worth noting that Schenck, and generally the entire Socialist Party, was STRONGLY against the war, claiming it was only being fought to benefit Wall Street investors who would make money from selling stuff to the military. As it turns out, by distributing these pamphlets, Schenck was breaking the Espionage Act.
