3. The WWII American Homefront During a war, the enemy is often villainized, so who do you think the U.S. “villainized” during WWII? How did this affect U.S. citizens from that specific group?

4. Financing the War Federal spending increased to $95.2 billion. Higher taxes paid for 41% of the war. The government borrowed the rest of the money from banks, private investors and the public. Americans bought war bonds to help finance the war.

5. Preparation for War: Stop Internal Threats After Pearl Harbor, many U.S. citizens felt prejudice and fear towards Japanese Americans. In 1942, FDR signed Executive Order 9066, which sent Japanese (both citizens and non citizens) to camps far from the coast. Internment camps caused Japanese Americans to lose their property, businesses, farms and homes.

7. "A viper is nonetheless a viper whenever the egg is hatched - so a Japanese American, born of Japanese parents - grows up to be a Japanese, not an American.“ » Los Angeles Times "I am for the immediate removal of every Japanese on the West Coast to a point deep in the interior. I don't mean a nice part of the interior either. Herd 'em up, pack 'em off and give 'em the inside room in the badlands. Personally, I hate the Japanese. And that goes for all of them.“ » Henry McLemore, columnist for the San Francisco Examiner

12. WRA = WAR RELOCATION AUTHORITY

13. Japanese Internment In the case Korematsu vs. United States (1944), the Supreme Court ruled wartime relocation was constitutional and the policy was not based on race. “The military urgency of the situation demanded that all citizens of Japanese ancestry be segregated from the West Coast temporarily.” In 1988, Congress gave each surviving Japanese American $20,000 and an official apology.

14. Japanese Americans in the Military The military refused to accept Japanese Americans until 1943. More than 17,000 fought for the U.S. in WWII. The soldiers of the all- Japanese 442 nd Regimental Combat Team won more medals for bravery than any other unit in U.S. history. Video Clip!

23. Women During WWII As men were drafted into the armed services, women took jobs in manufacturing, war defense, aircraft factories, shipyards and other industries. By 1944, women made up 35% of the total work force. Still earned much less than men doing the same jobs.

24. Rosie the Riveter A fictional woman created in 1942 to recruit new women workers. She was a home front hero, worked in a defense plant, and her boyfriend served in the Marines.

25. 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 frail can do more than a male will do Rosie the Riveter 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 a girl could be There’s something true about Red, white, and blue about Rosie the Riveter

26. Rosie the Riveter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CQ0M0wx00s What does Rosie represent? What is this song encouraging people to do? How is Rosie protecting Charlie? Do you think this would be an effective form of propaganda during WWII? Explain.
