World War II

 World War II created a lot of problems pertaining to racial and social conditions for the American people. American families began to live below poverty lines because of lost of employment, which then turned into the family possibility losing their home. They were not eating the meals  that they were use to because families had to make their money strength, so families cooked meals that were low in cost and that could last a couple of days, such as beans, and stews. People who were lucky enough to still have employment were not bring home the amount of money that they were use to bring home, now they were earning less then minimum wage which  is amazing how this is even possible or legal for that matter, another reason why families life styles declined below poverty level. Unemployment rates were high because a lot of businesses went out of business during World War II causing Americans to lose employment and with jobs not being available to people, this caused people to loot, reason being is that they still had to find a way to survive in these troubling times, people had families at home that still need nourishment. The Armed Forces were concerned about not having enough men in the event of another war, so in order for this not to occur millions of young and older men were being enlisted in the Armed Forces for precaution reasons. Blacks were dealing with segregation within the Armed Forces, black soldiers had to train, ate and sleep in separate quarters then whites. The army was experiencing a shortage in white nurses, but if there were a mass amount of injured white soldiers the black nurses where not allowed to aid them in their time of need, the blacks were considered not good enough to take care of them. Production of products were decreased in order to increase the production of weapons for the Armed Forces because they did not want to face not being able to control the war if any were to occur. The American people were living in fear of what to expect, Americans did not know and that is what scared them the most. The automotive companies dropped sells because no automobiles were being produced as a matter of fact there was a cease in automobile production until after World War II was over. Americans received a increase in taxes because the war exhausted a huge amount of funding, so in order to build the funding up there was a increase in taxes placed on Americans.
