Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Committee on Public Information (CPI) was created during World War I to promote support for the war effort. Its propaganda campaign, led by journalist George Creel, was successful in increasing patriotic fervor among Americans. However, it also targeted pacifists, socialists, and other dissenters, leading to increased tensions and even arrests. This unleashed democratic enthusiasm among some, but also triggered unrest among others who felt their civil liberties were being suppressed.
