Southern states were critical to the war effort during World War II (1941-45) and none more so than Georgia. Some 320,000 Georgians served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II, and countless others found employment in burgeoning wartime industries. Their experiences were pivotal in determining the state's future development, and the war itself marked a watershed in Georgia's history. Because it occurred when important shifts in the state's politics, race relations, and economy were already under way, the war accelerated Georgia's modernization, lifting it out of the Great Depression and ushering it into the mainstream of American life.

It is a matter of opinion, I suppose.
We need jurors, of course, but with so many people who hate it, there surely wouldn't be enough if the goverment simply allowed whoever wanted to volunteer to be the jury. I suppose that makes it sound like a burden, as it's a goverment-ordered requirement, like taxes. It is a privilege, though, if you think about it. Being selected for jury-duty means that you're a reliable citizen of America and you're trusted enough to help make a very important decision.
So, to restate my initial response, Jury duty can be seen as a duty or a burden, depending on how one views it.
In December 1863 Lincoln introduced the first Reconstruction scheme, the Ten Percent Plan, thus beginning the period known as Presidential Reconstruction. The plan decreed that when one-tenth of a state's prewar voters had taken an oath of loyalty to the U.S. Constitution, its citizens could elect a new state government and apply for readmission to the Union. In addition, Lincoln promised to pardon all but a few high-ranking Confederates if they would take this oath and accept abolition. The plan also required that states amend their constitutions to abolish slavery. Conspicuous in this plan was the stipulation that only whites could vote or hold office.
