WWI: What was the common citizens’ role during WWI? The Home Front WWI: What was the common citizens’ role during WWI?

War Industries Board in charge of coordinating the production of war materials – decided what to produce, constructing new factories, setting prices

Fuel Administration management of the nations, use of coal and oil; creation of daylight savings time, white house changed – they got sheep to trim the lawn; so they didn’t have to hire a lawn care person; then used their wool to sell for Red Cross money

Food Administration increasing food production, decreasing civilian consumption Need more food because food was extremely scarce and we were trying to help feed our allies as well. War disrupted transportation; farmers turned into soldiers, France and Belgium were starving

Mobilizing the Workforce National War Labor Board – made sure that factories were running efficiently and that strikes did not break out (8 hour work days, and higher wages)

Women in the Workforce Certain jobs opened for women that had traditionally been men’s jobs. Women worked in factories, shipyards, and railroads and served as police officers, mail carriers, train engineers

The Great Migration The workforce was low, desperate for workers, Henry Ford sent company agents south to recruit blacks (300,000 to 500,000) Altered racial make-up of Chicago, NYC, Cleveland, and Detroit

Building the Military

Selective Service required all men between 21 and 30 to register for a draft lottery, randomly determined the order in which they were called up. Called before a local draft board in charge of selecting or exemption people from military service WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE??? Draft Board Activity

Volunteers How longs since a big war? Long time so people wanted to see what a war was like (2 million volunteers)

Women first war in which women serve in the military (non- combat positions) navy – many clerical positions, army still refused to allow women to serve

African Americans Weren’t treated equal Discriminated against Whites would not solute them Forced to eat outside in the winter Wont receive a change of clothes for months Rarely given combat positions, mostly labor force.

Primary Source Activity

Shaping Public Opinion

Committee on Public Information Advertising , artists, authors, songwriters, entertainers, public speakers, and motion picture companies to help sway public opinion in favor of the war

Espionage Government wanted to limit opposition to the war and fight espionage (spying)

Survey Activity You have 5 minutes!!! Do NOT interrupt a class. Find a teacher on Prep, an office aid, librarian, etc.

Espionage Act of 1917 illegal to aid the enemy, give false reports, or interfere with the war effort

Sedition Act of 1918 illegal to speak against the war publicly

Conflict many people thought this was a violation of their civil liberties (1st amendment –freedom of speech)
