"A Nation's Ideal, why we Were Neutral and why we are now at war" captures a pivotal moment in American history through the words of Campbell Allison. This address, delivered before the University City Club in St. Louis on October 23, 1917, offers a compelling rationale for the United States' shift from a position of neutrality to active engagement in World War I.

Allison's speech provides valuable insights into the complex political and moral considerations that influenced American foreign policy during this tumultuous period.
