Excerpt from Wilson and the Issues
Sensibilities dulled, however, and as a very natural result of staled imaginations, the American mind soon failed to react to European despatches that told of a hundred thousand sons and fathers killed, a hundred thousand homes destroyed. It was not that our emotions became calloused; Simply that our emotions became numbed. For mer habits of life and thought, reasserting themselves inevitably, restored the old selfishness and all the old prejudices.
