Chapter 11-Section 3 The War at Home

American Proprieties During WWI The Three Priorities of Congress during WWI 1. Supply allies with food and equipment Over a million women joined the work force 2. Raise money to pay for war Selling war bonds 3. Get the American public to maintain support for the war Use of war propaganda

Congress Gives Power to Wilson Due to the war being such an immense conflict private industry and the government began to work together to guide the U.S. economy from the production of consumer goods to war time materials Congress gave Wilson direct control over the economy Including the power to fix prices and nationalize or regulate war-related industries

War Industries Board War Industries Board Created in 1917 and headed by Bernard Baruch Purchased items for war Converted factories Could control prices Businesses made massive profits, but consumers lacked many of the things they needed

War Industries Board The WIB (War Industries Board) along with the Fuel Administration and Railroad Administration helped regulate the economy during the war Regulated the railroads, boosted coal and oil production, encouraged conservation of energy In March 1918 the Fuel Administration created Daylight Savings Time Originally suggested by Ben Franklin in the 1770’s

War Economy Designed to prevent Labor disputes Union membership doubled Membership climbed to nearly four million There were also more than 6,000 strikes that broke out Better pay and working conditions Mainly those in metal trades, shipbuilding and meatpacking by roughly 20% However, household incomes were undercut by rising food costs

Food Administration Food Administration-Created by Wilson under the Hoover administration Instead of rationing food Wilson encouraged people to prevent waste citing the “gospel of the clean plate” He declared to prevent waste Americans should have one day “meatless”, one “sweetless”, two days “wheatless” and two days “porkless” Restaurants removed sugar bowls from tables and only served bread after the first course

War Financing The United States spent about $35.5 billion on the war. They raised the money through: 1. Taxes- Not just income, but corporate and excise tax (gum, liquor…) 2. Bonds- Sold to “War Bonds” and solicited “Victory Loans” from the public 3. Propaganda- They used films, posters, public speakers and radio ads to help

Espionage and Sedition Act U.S. Government was worried about spies so they passed the Espionage and Sedition Acts (1918) Fine and jail people who violate these laws which limited 1st Amendment Schenck v. U.S.- Charles Shenck was a socialist who wrote pamphlets that said the draft was like slavery The Supreme Court ruled that the freedom of speech protected in the First Amendment could be restricted if the words spoken or printed represented to society a “clear and present danger.” As a result he was sentenced to jail time

The Great Migration During the War many African American’s seeking better opportunities began moving North in search of jobs This movement was called “The Great Migration” African Americans experienced less discrimination and found a better standard of living Although some race riots erupted

A Citizens Role Regular people had part to play Herbert Hoover encouraged volunteerism and created the Food Administration Women went to factories, proved they could do mans job and got vote Americans created “Victory Gardens” Americans sacrificed with things like “Wheat-less Wednesdays” Government bought farmers goods for soldiers at great price

Anti-German Sentiment Some Germans were picked on and many citizens did not want to be connected to anything German Change city names Change food names Ban German books and songs Some violence against recent German immigrants

The Flu Epidemic In 1918 the flu hit Americans during war People stayed home and businesses shut down to avoid contagion Doctors did not have answers and many soldiers affected due to close quarters Nearly 30 million people around the world died from the flu among them roughly 500,000 Americans The epidemic ended in 1919 Only real answer was to clean up and quarantine
