| Description | World War II cartoon shows a man labeled "America First" sinking in "Isolation Quick Sand." Despite his struggles, he holds aloft a fistful of papers reading "Lindbergh," "Wheeler," "Nye," "Chicago Tribune," "Anti-Semitism," and "N.Y. Daily News." Charles Lindbergh, Senator Burton K. Wheeler, and Senator Gerald P. Nye were leaders of the America First movement. The Chicago Tribune and the Daily News followed a consistent isolationist line. Lindbergh, in particular, was viewed as accusing the Jews of trying to push America into war. In the fall of 1941, despite increased tensions due to German submarine warfare in the Atlantic and the growing threat of Japanese aggression in Asia, the isolationists continued to wage a last ditch battle against American involvement in the war. |
