dissidents

Explanation:

To complete the chart for "Dissidents" (individuals who opposed the war or government policies during WWI), we analyze historical context:

Step 1: Treatment During WWI

Dissidents (e.g., pacifists, socialists, anti - war activists) faced suppression (censorship, arrest, or harassment) for opposing the war effort. Laws like the Espionage Act (1917) and Sedition Act (1918) targeted anti - war speech.

Step 2: Impact on Way of Life

Their civil liberties (free speech, assembly) were restricted, shaping debates about civil rights in the U.S. The crackdown on dissidents highlighted tensions between national security and individual freedoms, influencing later civil liberties movements.
