Question: The Green Corn Rebellion was an act that tried to stop enforcement of enlistement during what war?
Context: Avon Cities Skiffle Group featuring Ray Bush were founded in Bristol, England, during 1952 by members of the Avon Cities Jazz Band.  The group became a part of the skiffle craze that swept the UK in 1957 and made several recordings and appeared on BBC Light Programme shows.  Their big hit was named Green Corn, originally by Huddie Leadbetter,a blues singer and twelve-string guitar player. The Selective Service Act or Selective Draft Act (Pub.L.  65–12 , 40 Stat.  76 , enacted  18, 1917 ) authorized the federal government to raise a national army for the American entry into World War I through the compulsory enlistment of people.  It was envisioned in December 1916 and brought to President Woodrow Wilson's attention shortly after the break in relations with Germany in February 1917.  The Act itself was drafted by then-Captain (later Brigadier General) Hugh S. Johnson after the United States entered World War I by declaring war on Germany.  The Act was canceled with the end of the war on November, 1918.  The Act was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in the "Selective Draft Law Cases" in 1918, a decision based partially on Vattel's "The Law of Nations" of 1758. Corunda is a Mexican food, similar to tamales, but wrapped in a long green corn plant leaf, and folded, making a triangular shape or spherical shape.  They are typically steamed until golden and eaten with cream and red salsa.  Unlike tamales, they do not always have a filling.  They are usually made using corn flour, salt, sour cream, and water. The Green Corn Rebellion was an armed uprising that took place in rural Oklahoma on August 2 and 3, 1917.  The uprising was a reaction by radicalized European-Americans, tenant farmers, Seminoles, Muscogee Creeks and African-Americans to an attempt to enforce the Selective Draft Act of 1917 and was so-called due to the purported plans of the rebels to march across the country, eating "green corn" on the way for sustenance.  Betrayed by an informer in their midst, the country rebels met with a well-armed posse of townsmen, with whom shots were exchanged and three people killed.  In the aftermath of the incident, scores of arrests were made and the Socialist Party of America, formerly strong in the region, was discredited in the public eye for allegedly having attempted to foment revolution.  The incident was also used as a pretext for national reprisals against the Industrial Workers of the World and the Socialist Party of America. The Green Corn Ceremony (Busk) is an annual ceremony practiced among various Native American peoples associated with the beginning of the yearly corn harvest.  Busk is a term given to the ceremony by white traders, the word being a corruption of the Creek word "puskita" for "a fast".  These ceremonies have been documented ethnographically throughout the North American Eastern Woodlands and Southeastern tribes.  Historically, it involved a first fruits rite in which the community would sacrifice the first of the green corn to ensure the rest of the crop would be successful.  These Green Corn festivals were practiced widely throughout southern North America by many tribes evidenced in the Mississippian people and throughout the Mississippian Ideological Interaction Sphere.  Green Corn festivals are still held today by many different Southeastern Woodland tribes.  The Green Corn Ceremony typically occurs in late July–August, determined locally by the ripening of the corn crops.  The ceremony is marked with dancing, feasting, fasting and religious observations. The Joe Bell Site (9MG28) is an archaeological site located in Morgan County, Georgia underneath Lake Oconee, but prior to the 1970s, it was located south of the mouth of the Apalachee River on the western bank of the Oconee River.  The junction of these two rivers could be seen from the site.  This site was first visited by Marshall Williams in 1968 at the suggestion of the site’s landowner, Joe Bell, who had discovered various artifacts while the site was being regularly plowed.  Because of Interstate construction, Marshall Williams and Mark Williams discovered this site during surface surveys and excavations of the plowed areas.  The site was excavated and analyzed by Mark Williams as part of his PhD dissertation.  During the 1969 excavations, four areas within the site were designated for excavation.  In Areas 1-3 various five foot square units were excavated.  No excavations were done in Area 4 in 1969.  Large quantities of small potsherds were discovered during these excavations, and they ranged from the Duvall Phase in Area 1 to Bell Phase in Areas 2-4.  As part of the 1969 excavations, a road grading machine took off the topsoil of twelve strips on the site.  This uncovered Features 1 and 2, and they were completely excavated.  In 1977, the site was revisited by Marshall Williams and Mark Williams.  Since various plans threatened this site, major excavations took place from June 15, 1977 until September 16, 1977 by Mark Williams.  Most of the work centered on Area 2 or the Bell Phase portion of the site.  The Bell Phase portion of this site was probably no more the 1.5 acres .  Because of time constraints, only 17 of 55 features were excavated, and no more than a handful of the 1100 posts were excavated.  A few trips were made back to the site the following year with the help of volunteers, and approximately 80% of the area stripped by heavy machinery was mapped.  Some of the features were trash features that consisted of a circular pit filled with food residues and pottery sherds.  Evidence of a large circular structure or rotunda was found at the site.  It was the social, political, and religious center for the inhabitants.  A large quantity of the features was small, circular, semi-subterranean structures that were probably used as sleeping quarters on cold nights.  Another structure found was warm weather structures.  One major trash feature was found that had been deposited in a single episode and was burned during or after deposition.  Numerous sherds were found in this pit, and a large number of reconstructable vessels were present.  Ethnohistoric literature of the Southeast suggests that this feature was formed during a Busk or Green Corn ceremony.  The ceremony has been described as the physical cleansing of the town. Sage Derby is a variety of Derby cheese that is mild, mottled green and semi-hard, and has a sage flavour.  The colour is from sage and sometimes other colouring added to the curds, producing a marbling effect and a subtle herb flavour.  The colour is formed either by mixing sage leaves into the curd before it is pressed or by the addition of "green curd" from green corn or spinach juice.  In the latter case, the flavour has to be created with colourless sage extract.  Parsley, spinach and marigold leaves, bruised and steeped before use, can also be included instead of the sage leaves.  It is aged for one to three months. For centuries the Mississippi Choctaws have gathered at the ripening of the first corn.  This gathering was called "The New Corn Ceremony" or "Green Corn Festival."  The present day "'Choctaw Indian Fair" has roots in this ancient celebration. Green Corn Revival (often abbreviated GCR) was an American rock band from Weatherford, Oklahoma. Kullihoma Grounds consists of 1500-acres owned by the Chickasaw Nation, located 10 miles from Ada, Oklahoma ( ).  The land was purchased in 1936, and the Chickasaw built traditional tribal dwellings on the site, and used it as a stomp ground.  Traditional Chickasaw households consisted of summer and winter houses and a corn crib.  A circular council house also exists on site.  Prior to 1936, the Green Corn Ceremony was practiced on this land.
