To become stronger. This is in WWI right? They supported eachother.

<span>The British, unlike the Colonists, paid with gold coins, instead of bills, as was customary in the colonies. The
American colonists used both the English, Spanish and French coins
during the time they were British Colony, but when the War of
Independence was about to begin, the Continental Congress financed the
coming war, creating the new money American, called Continental Currency. <span>The problem came later, when the devaluation of this currency was so great, that it became synonymous with "lack of value".</span></span>
World War II produced important changes in American life--some trivial, others profound. One striking change involved fashion. To conserve wool and cotton, dresses became shorter and vests and cuffs disappeared, as did double-breasted suits, pleats, and ruffles.
Even more significant was the tremendous increase in mobility. The war set families in motion, pulling them off of farms and out of small towns and packing them into large urban areas. Urbanization had virtually stopped during the Depression, but the war saw the number of city dwellers leap from 46 to 53 percent.
War industries sparked the urban growth. Detroit's population exploded as the automotive industry switched from manufacturing cars to war vehicles. Washington, D.C. became another boomtown, as tens of thousands of new workers staffed the swelling ranks of the bureaucracy. The most dramatic growth occurred in California. Of the 15 million civilians who moved across state lines during the war, over 2 million went to California to work in defense industries.
