  1. Paper 1 The Home Front in the United States During WWII

  2. 9 (Stereotypes) • Source A – • Service men were seen as heroes, patriotic, can do no wrong • Zoot-Suiters were the opposite: anarchistic, not loyal or patriotic, had no commitment or integrity, were lazy for not doing their part for the war.

  3. 9 (Stereotypes) (b) Source D • Women were pressured to marry a serviceman, who they barely knew, to send them off happy • Women were told their jobs were temporary until the men cam home • Women felt they were being lied to (sold a bill of goods) and didn’t like it (Screw that noise). They wanted to keep working.

  4. 10 (Compare/Contrast) COMPARE: • Both dealt with the economic well-being of Americans & the governments involvement • Both looked at how FDR viewed the importance of economic rights • Both showed FDR as being persuaded by public opinion

  5. 10 (Compare/Contrast)

  6. 11: OPVL 1- Stick to the OPVL, DO NOT write about specific facts from each source 2- Be sure to include ALL of the information to explain the Origin: WHO (author) WHAT(title of the piece) WHEN (date created and is it primary or secondary) WHERE (city/state/country it was published/created) 3- Purpose – explain what type of source it is and WHY it was created(book, political cartoon, etc.)

  7. 11. OPVL 4- Values /Limitations– Think of who the author is and how that influences the information (is it a historian, a journalist, a comic, a civilian, a politician…), think of the when and where it was created and how that affects the information, think of what kind of source it is and how that affects the information, think of why it was created, is it for education, propaganda, personal use…

  8. Source C O – David M. Kennedy’s book Freedom From Fear: The American People in Depression and War, 1929-1945, printed in New York in 2005. Secondary Source P – It was a book written from research on the Great Depression through WWII in order to understand the American experiences during 1929-1945. V - 2005 -> use of many sources for research, uses primary sources (conversation of w/FDR), shows 1st non-violent movement towards equality L – Some information could be omitted because the subject is broad (1929-1945).

  9. Source E O – A political cartoon drawn in 1943 (primary source) artist is unknown, but taken from Kenny Stahl’s website “1943- A Race Riot There Will Be.” in 2013. P – As a political cartoon the artist is making a statement about the international impact of the race riots in the United States and how they aid the enemy. V- As a primary you get a personal insight into what was happening at the time, showing the importance of how the division in the country had a bigger impact L – This is also one person’s point of view, which may be exaggerated and definitely biased.

  10. 12 (Evidence & Outside Knowledge) Source A: • “later on the riots would assume a political significance for a different generation” OUTSIDE: • Zoot-Suiters didn’t feel like they belonged to the US or to the own culture, so they rebelled which led to the “riots” with the servicemen which led to future generation’s actions for civil rights, the right to belong, be a part of the country.

  11. 12 (Evidence & Outside Knowledge) Source B: • FDR stated, “true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence” however not everyone in the US had this • Shows gov. could expand its power to protect ALL Americans

  12. 12 (Evidence & Outside Knowledge) Source C: • Shows that the US was not united, that segregation was a bigger issue than FDR wanted to admit • Randolph threatens a Black March to protest inequality and this forces FDR’s hand which SOWS THE SEED for Civil Rights non-violent protests, things can be accomplished when you stand up for your rights.

  13. 12 (Evidence & Outside Knowledge) Source D: • Women were given economic freedom for the first time, “They realized that they were capable of doing something more than cook a meal…” • “Screw that noise” • Many women were not willing to go backwards to how it was before the war, which gave them the opportunities to be freer.

  14. 12 (Evidence & Outside Knowledge) Source E: • Jim Crow were laws that segregated whites and minorities in the South (and by proxy in the North) • They kept the US divided, our segregation is not much different from the segregation that Hitler was trying to achieve in Europe. It makes out enemies stronger and us weaker

  15. 12 (Evidence & Outside Knowledge) OUTSIDE KNOWLEDGE: • Double V campaign: Fight for freedom abroad and for freedom at home. • FDR supports EX Order 8802 by threatening Unions who discriminate and by creating the Fair Employment Practices Commission to be sure that 8802 was enforced. • 1950 segregation was dismantled in the Army • 1954 – Brown vs. Board of Education.
