Rationing, “Rosie the Riveter”, and the Tuskegee Airmen SS5H6: The student will explain the reasons for America’s involvement in World War II. e. Describe the effects of rationing and the changing role of women and African Americans; include “Rosie the Riveter” and the Tuskegee Airmen.

The War At Home: Rationing While the US soldiers were away fighting in Europe and the Pacific, citizens at home did their part. The military needed weapons and supplies. Production increased which made the economy boom!!!! Citizens started looking for ways to conserve goods so that more could go to the soldiers. People planted victory gardens, where they raised their own vegetables.

The War At Home: Rationing Some voluntarily decided not to eat meat on certain days of the week. Citizens collected rubber, copper, steel, and other goods to be recycled. The government did their part as well; it used rationing to limit how much citizens could buy. This forced people to conserve certain goods. Scarce items people had to ration included: coffee, meat, butter and even shoes! In a way, this started recycling!

The Changing Role of Women: “Rosie the Riveter” Women’s role in society changed during the war! How? Over 275,000 women served in the United States military. The largest military division of women was the Women’s Army Corps (WAC). Military women served in nearly every role except combat. They became pilots and flew bombers from the US to bases in Europe, others became mechanics, truck drivers and office workers. Civilian women played an important part in the war effort at home. Many of the nation’s men left their jobs to join the fight; however the country still needed workers to produce goods.

The Changing Role of Women: “Rosie the Riveter” Thousands of women filled the gap by working in the nation’s factories and industries. These were jobs women usually did not do. They worked in places like farms, aircraft building factories, shipyards and offices. “Rosie the Riveter” became the symbol for working women. She was a fictional character on government posters that encouraged women to go to work and help production.

Rosie the Riveter Song http://www.mcneilmusic.com/music/RosieThe.mp3 Rosie's got a boyfriend, Charlie. Charlie, he's a Marine. Rosie is protecting Charlie, Working overtime on the riveting machine. When they gave her a production "E," She was as proud as she could be. There's something true about, Red, white, and blue about, Rosie the Riveter. All the day long, Whether rain or shine, She's a part of the assembly line. She's making history, Working for victory, Rosie the Riveter. Keeps a sharp lookout for sabotage, Sitting up there on the fuselage. That little girl will do more than a man will do. Rosie the Riveter.

Minorities: African Americans- The Tuskegee Airmen The need for workers broke down some racial barriers. Many African American, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans and other minorities worked on farms and in factories to help with wartime production. The Tuskegee Airmen were African American fighter pilots. They trained at Tuskegee Institute Alabama. Because they were black, they were segregated from the white troops. They had to go through a difficult training program.

Minorities: African Americans- The Tuskegee Airmen These men became a well-respected, elite unit. They flew alongside bombers traveling to Europe to protect them. The Tuskegee Airmen protected every US bomber they escorted during the war. No other squadron could make this claim during World War II. Native American marines became known as code talkers. They developed a coded radio language based on the Navajo language. Code talkers played an important role in secret communications, because the Japanese never figured it out.

The War and Racism African American men served honorably, but still remained segregated from white soldiers. They served in all-black units under the command of white officers. On navy ships and army posts, African Americans were usually assigned small tasks like cooking. Many African Americans were upset that the government expected them to fight for a country that did not give them equal rights. These soldiers returned home no longer willing to accept inequality.

The War and Racism One of the most tragic events of WWII was the internment (imprisonment) of Japanese Americans. After Pearl Harbor, many in the US government feared that Japanese Americans would help Japan. To avoid spying and sabotage (when someone damages weapons or machines on purpose), President Roosevelt signed an executive order. This order called for the government to relocate thousands of Japanese Americans to internment camps (government camps) . Many Japanese Americans had to leave their homes. Some lost their jobs or their own businesses.
