The U.S. passed the Foraker Act, which denied U.S. citizenship to Puerto Ricans and gave the president the power to appoint Puerto Rico’s governor and members of the upper house and the legislature. Puerto Ricans could elect only members of the legislature’s lower house. Congress granted U.S. citizenship to Puerto Ricans and gave them the right to vote for both houses |

| Most Americans saw no reason to join a struggle 3,000 miles away. The war did not threaten American lives or property. Millions of naturalized U.S. citizens followed the war closely because they still had ties to the nations from which that had emigrated. Many Americans did not want their sons to experience the horrors of warfare. Despite the widespread opposition to the war, a general feeling of sympathy for Great Britain and France emerged. Many Americans felt close to England because of a common ancestry, language, literature. Germany’s aggressive sweep through Belgium also increased American sympathy for the Allies. America’s economic ties with the Allies were far stronger than those with the Central Powers. America traded with Great Britain and France more than twice as much as it did with Germany. U.S. shipped millions of dollars of war supplies to the Allies. |
