We’re in 1914, being dragged in to WW1 against our will!

Honestly, a bit of a canard given how much of a Dixiecrat eugenics loving imperialist shit Woodrow Wilson was.

Neo-Confederates bit hard on the Zimmerman Telegram and were some of the most enthusiastic WW1 hawks.

The Zimmerman telegram was the story that Germany was trying to convince Mexico to attack the US right? I'm deep in my memory for this one lol

That's the story, yes. There are a number of still-classified documents surrounding the Zimmerman Telegram that raise a number of questions about how it was obtained and how well it was received.
