Presentation transcript:

Going to War  Young Americans were eager to go to war  5 million volunteers not enough; Selective Service provided another 10 million soldiers  Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps- women volunteers allowed to serve in non-combat positions  Nurses, ambulance drivers, radio operators, electricians, pilots

Labor Contribution  Factories switch to producing war materials  Tanks, boats, planes  Women filled jobs left by men  Minorities faced strong prejudice  A. Philip Randolph- organized march on Washington to protest discrimination  Double V Campaign- Victory over Fascism Abroad & Discrimination at Home

Federal Government Takes Control  Office of Price Administration- fought inflation by freezing prices on most goods  Inflation remained below 30% for most of war  War Production Board- decided which companies would convert from peacetime to wartime production & allocated raw materials to key industries  Rationing- establishing fixed allotments of goods deemed essential for the military  Ration books for goods such as shoes, meat, coffee, gasoline  Most Americans accepted rationing as their personal contribution to the war effort

Discrimination  African American “Great Migration” out of the south into the north and west  Leads to racial violence in cities  “Zoot Suit Riots”- violence against Mexican Americans  Mobs openly attacked Mexican Americans

Japanese-American Internment  US citizens feared that Japanese living in US would attack  prejudice against Japanese Americans  Internment=confinement; FDR signed an order requiring the removal of all people of Japanese ancestry into internment or “relocation” camps  110,000 Japanese Americans were sent to these camps  Most were American-born

Japanese-American Internment  Abandoned their homes, businesses, and all of their belongings  Korematsu v. United States- Supreme Court decided that the government’s policy of evacuating Japanese Americans to camps was justified on the basis of “military necessity”  US promised $20,000 to every Japanese American sent to an internment camp
