Add “baby boom” out to the side of your paper!

WWII is remembered as a time when our nation united in a just

cause. The war was a daily part of every American’s life.

It was a struggle of good versus evil and everyone

pitched in to do their part.

The American workforce changed as 6 million women went to work…

A fictional character named “Rosie the Riveter” encouraged women to

participate in “making history working for Victory.”

Rationing affected everyone. Items such as tires, gas, coffee,

sugar, meat, butter, cheese, nylon, and cotton were limited to the public, as well as businesses.

Every American was expected to do their

part…

Housewives were asked to save table scraps and fat…

…and children collected old tires, rubber shoes, bathing caps,

and tin cans.

They were known as Uncle Sam’s Scrappers and Tin Can Colonels.

Even children’s toys and cartoons reflected support for the war effort.

Americans were encouraged to grow Victory Gardens to

save on using

ration coupons and to enable the government

to feed the troops.

Famous entertainers such as Bing Crosby and Bugs Bunny encouraged

Americans to support the war by buying bonds.

Actors made training films for the soldiers, acted in patriotic movies and propaganda clips, and urged

Americans to do their part.

Americans sent “V mail” to the troops in order to show their support.

The Office of War

Information controlled

radio broadcasts,

made posters and newsreels,

and tried to promote unrest in

Germany, Italy and Japan..

JAPANESE-AMERICAN INTERNMENT

Japanese-Americans were singled out like no other racial group as President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 forcing approximately 120,000 Japanese-Americans into

Relocation Camps.

They were gathered into temporary relocation

centers, usually set up at local fairgrounds and

racetracks.

Then they were taken to one of

ten Relocation Camps set

up in remote, isolated

areas and overseen by

the War Relocation Authority.

Many in the camps worked for the government,

earning twelve to nineteen dollars a

month.

Many of the young men chose to join the military and were sent off to fight the war in Europe.

The 422d Regimental Combat Team fought

in Europe and was one of the most decorated

units of the war.

In 1943 the American Government began to

allow the Japanese Americans to be released.

In December 1944, Korematsu v. United

States upheld the decision of Executive

Order 9066.

The CIVIL LIBERTIES ACT OF 1988, also

known as the JAPANESE-AMERICAN REDRESS BILL, said

that “a grave injustice was done.” Congress was to pay each victim of internment $20,000 in reparations. This

was sent with a signed apology from the

President of the United States.

During the war, a small number of

German and Italian resident aliens were also interned. About 2,000 German alien residents

were sent back to Germany.

Germans were also sent from Latin America to the

U.S. to be used in prisoner

exchanges with Germany.
