A.<span>United States Sanitary Commission</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
You wouldn't have to ask the question if you lived in the United States during the Vietnam war. Nothing, no event since the civil war a century earlier, split the American people more than Vietnam.
Basically there were a number of things that it did.
1. Those fighting it were split about going over. Many college educated students would have enlisted immediately after Pearl Harbor in WWII. Those same class of people would not be persuaded that way during Vietnam
2. It gave rise to the civil rights movement. The colored didn't want to go to Vietnam, or not all of them. Those who were opposed, especially the colored, sympathized with organizations like the Black Panthers or the Peace movement headed by Martin Luther King.
3. It brought the war into American living rooms. I can still remember seeing the shooting of a Viet Cong prisoner. At the time, it was extremely graphic and if I may say so, very horrifying.
4. The white middle class was equally upset by Vietnam. There were rallies on the University campuses where the numbers were in the tens of thousands. My mother 79 at the time, insisted on going to one. She was not disappointed. The keynote speaker was Jane Fonda. The body count was just too high not to upset just about everyone.
5. Then there was Kent State. You would do well to look that up.

Answer:
Explanation:
The buildup of savings did this because it meant that after the war, people would have lots of money saved up that they could use to buy consumer goods. Once the war ended, the factories would have to turn from producing war materiel to producing consumer goods again. If people had little money, there would have been little demand for these goods. But during WWII, people saved a great deal of money. Once the war ended, they could use that money to buy things like cars that had not been available during the war. This flurry of buying prevented a depression.
