During wwi, women are relocated to follow their husbands to the military bases or take jobs in the defense industry, as the mobilization of the national economy began to tap into previously underemployed populations and the demographics changed with the growing urbanization of the african american populations.

The impact of the war on the United States was nowhere near as devastating as it was in Europe and the Pacific, where the battles were waged, but it still profoundly changed everyday life for all Americans. On the positive side, the war effort finally and definitively ended the economic depression that had been plaguing the country since 1929. It also called upon Americans to unite behind the war effort and give of their money, their time, and their effort, as they sacrificed at home to assure success abroad. The upheaval caused by white men leaving for war meant that for many disenfranchised groups, such as women and African Americans, there were new opportunities in employment and wage earning. Still, fear and racism drove cracks in the nation’s unified facade. Hope this helps even tho it’s not mine I just wanna help even tho it’s not my answer.
