and lasted only three years:

(May 16, 1918), law passed by Congress during World War I providing for
punishment of persons who interfered with the war effort, spoke disloyally
of the U.S. Constitution or federal government, or hindered the production
of war materials. Eugene V. Debs, leader of the U.S. Socialist party, was
imprisoned under this act. Congress repealed the law in 1921.
