what drew my attention was:

Chicago Macedonians campaigned openly for the independence of their homeland. In 1910, several hundred members of the Bulgaro-Macedonian League paraded through the city's West Side and rallied at Bricklayer's Hall to protest Ottoman rule. In 1918 Chicago Macedonians held a “Great Macedonian Congress” to express hope that President Wilson's Fourteen Points would guarantee Macedonia a free homeland.

now if we could find any declarations or news articles from that time to see how it was reported, that would be excellent
