Germany was sinking our ships on the high seas. By 'our', do you mean British?
The sinking of the Lusitania
How shocking - a ship, carrying the flag of a belligerent, transporting arms, was sunk in an exclusion zone.

The Lusitania was a British liner with over a hundred Americans aboard.
The Germans also sank seven U.S. merchant ships when they began ‘unrestricted’ submarine warfare. This immediately preceded our declaration of war.

The claim that the Lusitania was carrying arms has always been pure baloney, and even if it had been carrying arms, there is no evidence that the German submariners involved considered her to be in violation of international law.
