18) Much like a product advertiser (Sham-Wow!), George Creel's job was to sell America to the idea of going to war and to get the world to buy into Wilson's 14 Points. With a bulging staff of 150,000, Creel's organization piled on the mentally-encapsulating patriotic propaganda.
19) The pro-war message saturated popular society, manifesting itself in movies, on walls, in leaflets that fall! The colors shined brilliantly from the covers of magazines to books. Creel was so sneaky; he stole isolationism from the hearts of man, what a crook..
20) Creel was so successful at exciting the American emotions of patriotism and stewardship for the war that he ended up hyping Wilson up to being someones whose shoes could not be filled. This would prove to be fatal when the president failed to fulfill the hopes and dreams of his faithful followers.And as all good things must come to an end, so to must this.. But be not afraid! The banner has been placed in good hands. What say you, Zack!
I think Zac will probably say to spell his name correctly :)
