United States Declaration of War and the German Response to the United States

In the American wordle, the words "Government", "war", "rights", and "German" appeared the most. If trying to figure out the tone of the US declaration of war, I would say that the Americans worried about people's rights during that time and also worried about the German government and wanted peace even though they will defend theirselves and their nation no matter what.

In the German wordle, the words "nations", "war","blockade", and "states" were emphasized and repeated often. It was actually what the Germans wanted; they wanted war. They were ready for it and actually went for it. They threatened to sink anyone who goes on the water and used blockades and submarines to protect themselves. So by that, the 2 wordles show how the U.S and the Germans had a totally different opinion of war.
