History

Novay_Z [31]3 years ago
6 0
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.

Elza [17]

Reconstruction is a good organizing topic for the post–Civil War era.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the Union tasted the fruit of victory in 1865's Civil War, it provided the saves with the freedom. Also, there was huge damage in the South that made the South economically poor. Soon after passing the Abolishment act President Lincoln was assassinated.

Then the presidency was automatically given to Andrew Johnson. Andrew always had thoughts the same as Lincoln had. They wanted to rebuild the South back so Johnson announced the plan of  "Reconstruction". That reflected in both Unionism and in the state's rights. With the help of the Union army, the lands were built back.

Thus the rebuilt lands were provided to the freed slaves by the Freedmen Bureau and Union Army. The Reconstruction plan existed till 1877 and it stopped due to the rise of southern whites' violence. Because of the changes made by Congress in the Reconstruction plan that turned it into a Radical Reconstruction plan.
