"The National Archives Experience: DocsTeach." "You Buy A Liberty Bond. Lest I Perish. Get Behind The Government. Liberty Loan of 1917." Web. 17 Mar. 2015. <http://docsteach.org/documents/512670/detail>.
This propaganda contains a picture of the statue of Liberty which is the sign America's freedom and the ultimate symbol of the country. The audience of this propaganda are the citizens of American. She (statue of liberty) makes it that ones responsibility to persevere the rights for which she stands.
Charles R. Macaulay was the creator for the Advertising Section of the Educational Division of the U.S. Food Administration. He challenges viewers to purchase Liberty Bonds to support the war effort. The technique used in this propaganda is the figure of Lady Liberty, she stares the viewer down with furrowed brow, flushed cheeks, and an accusing finger. She is portrayed as masculine to present a demanding presence. She tries to evoke guilt that if you cannot participate in the actual battle of war, you can at least purchase war bonds to do your part is the message the author is trying to get across.
This piece of propaganda is very effective as it addresses a well known belief at that time to provoke guilt in the average citizen if they don't buy liberty bonds.
