The World War II was a reminder for many blacks of the inequality of American society, and a black soldier said, "Just carve on my tombstone, "Here Lies a black man, killed fighting a yellow man for the protection of a white man." There were changes to America's economy as well during and after the war, and in particular, the war time boom. The biggest contributor to the victory in the WWII was industry, and industries that had been inactive were now "humming with activity". Many factories were converted make war vehicles; such as tanks and flamers, and the Willow Run Factory was able to produce one B-24 bomber every hour. The prosperity went all through America's society, and government spending rose dramatically from $9billion in 1940 to $98billion in 1944. Wages increased hugely all over the country from rich to poor. Also, big businesses, especially those involved in the defence industry, became much more powerful, and surprisingly, military spending remained between 8 and 20 percent of GNP in the 40 years after 1945.

Should religion play a role in education? Why or why not?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

I personally don't think religion should play a huge factor into education.

Explanation:

This is because some things that were taught in one holy book could differ from the teachings of another subject in another holy book.

If we were studying with religion at hand, that religion would have to not be centered around the things that majorly happened in that religion, but what happened in other religions and show correct information.

Why wasn't South Carolina upset when part of her land was given to Georgia?
lutik1710 [3]
They lost responsibility for some areas that they felt were hard to manage, so these areas would now be developed but not using their own budget. They were also glad about the fact there were now more settlements between themselves and Spanish Florida, which many in South Carolina viewed as a threat.
