**//__​I didnt raise my son to be a soldier__//**
'I didnt raise my son to be a soldier',this song was written by a parent around the time of world war one.She wrote it telling the reasons why she didnt raise her son to fight. she raised her son to be a gentle men,and not to go out to war and kill another mothers son. She sings about her son fighting someone elses battle.,while they wait around doing nothing. This song was written to convince people to not let their kids fight world war one. It attacked the war effort because people relized that it was pointless to force or allow their sons to go to war.

For America we were not suppose to go to war, unfortunately we were dragged in by staying neutral.The problem was we were trading yet supplying both sides causing anger toward us.Yet the plan of prsident Wilson was to stay neutral. Finally we decided to choose a side at around 1915 because german u-boats decided to sink a trade boat 'Lusitania'.Although it was not an american boat we still accepted their terms.German government promised to compensate for any American ships that were destroyed, including the value of their cargo.I had tried keeping peace between both britain and France vs. Germany, by sending a question saying, 'what would it take to make you end the war?' both replies were not acceptable to our power.regardless i kept fighting for our peace and came to a secret negotiations with both Britain and Germany to keep an agreement for peace and harmony.Finally i gave my speech to them both saying:


 * ** "Peace had to be a peace of reconciliation, a peace without victory, for a victor's peace would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand." ** ||
