 * //The Homefront: US took control of industry to turn peacetime industry into war industry with the War Production Board. This allowed the US to churn out ships, planes and ammunition at an incredible rate. A draft was issued, even though millions of men were signing up, taking the US from being one of the smallest armies to one of the largest. Since most men were fighting the war, the women stepped up and joined the industry work, disproving all those that said women could not handle factory jobs. The US sent out propaganda posters and clips in movie ////theaters to raise morale for the war. People at home were also forced to ration to save food and resources for the military. Immigration was raised to bring more workers in from Mexico, which would later create race riots, and african americans moved from the south to northern cities to work in factories.// ||  ||
