oh haha sorry! 
In the years leading up to 1917, America was in a state of isolationism while paradoxically it was adopting several pro-preparadeness policies aimed to equip the nation in case of a war. The sentiment at home prior to 1916 was strongly against the conflict. The Progressives and Socialists were from the beginning critics of the war. They all clamored that this was Europe's conflict and that America had nothing to do with it. To get involved in a messy feudal conflict would be subordinating America's interest to one or two European rival. There was also an economic dimension for wanting the US out of the war. As long as there were troops in Europe requiring supplies and weapons, there were creditors and war manufacturers in the US who could provide them.
