July 1, 1941

A. Philip Randolph, head of Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters led this protest

More opportunities due to defense mobilization The shipyards in particular hired African Americans The second largest employer of African Americans was the federal government.

To disguise this ultra-secret project, the Corps created a Manhattan Engineer District, with a headquarters initially based in New York City. Most work done at Los Alamos, New Mexico “Gadget” (Trinity) on July 16, 1945

When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb. The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country.

Two atomic bombs were made, “Little Boy” and “Fat Man.” Scientists at Los Alamos were not fully confident in the “Fat Man” bomb. Bombs designed to create an accurate and symmetrical implosion.

“Fat Man” “Little Boy”

Americans were suffering many casualties and the Japanese were showing no signs of possible negotiation. A cease fire was non-negotiable. If the United States dropped the atomic bomb, surrender and peace would probably occur.

Why did Truman use the atomic bomb? Give 2 reasons.

He believed it would save American lives Harry Truman became president on April 12, 1945 when FDR died. He is known for the saying “The buck stops here.”

He believed it would end the war

8:15 AM, “The Little Boy” was dropped over the center of Hiroshima It exploded about 2,000 ft. above the city and had a blast the equivalent to 13 kilotons of TNT. Due to radiation, approximately 152,437 additional people have died.

The leaflets called for a petition to the Emperor of Japan to stop the war and agree to thirteen consequences of an honorable surrender. Sample Leaflet On August 10, 1945 thousands of leaflets were dropped over the city of Nagasaki
