Letter Writing And Legal Consciousness During World War I, Elizabeth A. Hoffmann
Letter Writing And Legal Consciousness During World War I, Elizabeth A. Hoffmann
Department of Sociology Faculty Publications
This article explores how ordinary Americans thought about law during WWI by examining 119 letters to Congress regarding charges under the Espionage Act. These letters are a product of their time and shed new light on our understanding of the First Red Scare. This lens of legal consciousness explains how people remain within established modes of engagement, rather than either withdrawing or becoming violent, as is found in the extant literature. Despite opposing goals, the letter writers’ shared master frame enabled them to “speak to” the other side, rather than “past” those with opposing views. This article explains how individuals …
