Americans, for example, needed ration cards to purchase items such as gasoline, coffee, sugar, and meat. Rationing eventually frustrated many Americans. For the first time in years, they had money to spend, but there were few goods available for purchase. The home front transformed the lives of many children during WWII. Millions lived apart from fathers who served in the military.
I felt this way because both the generals’ men were fighting against the Confederates so they should work together. Once again general Robert Shaw put them together. The movie Glory made me think about the views of both the sides and made me realize that the Civil War was a really important event. from war and made fun of the colored men. I felt this way because both the generals’ men were fighting against the Confederates so they should work together.
But now, equality and recognition as citizens were within their grasp, and all they had to do was put their trust into their country. Green successfully does this by using ethos to clear all the fear and doubt within the African American people, and it also starts to rebuild their trust within their country. Green tells that they won’t be able to lose if they choose to fight, because they are the “armies of the living God.” If the African Americans chose to fight for the Union, then they would have to put trust in their country’s future. If they really want their future to be different, then all they had to do was join the Union ranks and fight for “truth, justice, and equality for all men.” Green’s efforts in rebuilding African American’s trust in America was successful, African Americans joined the Union ranks and fought for their country. In the end they won, and slowly but surely the African American’s trust in their country built.
Many Germans lost their families and houses and had very little food to survive. Supporters of the Nazi party were dumbfounded at the loss of the war. On May 10th, the United States began the process of bringing soldiers home. Unfortunately,
After the effects of the Second World War which Black Americans had played such a key role in, President Truman felt obliged to commit to Civil Rights for Black Americans evident following the report ‘to secure these rights.’ Following the report's ,several initiatives were organised to achieve these rights, one of which was the signing of Executive Order 9980 and Executive Order 10308. These were crucial in improving the lives of Black Americans as they guaranteed fair employment practices in the Civil Services and that defence contracts would not go to companies that discriminated against Black Americans, hence empowering them in the workplace. However, some people argued that WW2 did not change anything and neither did the report ‘to secure these rights.’ This is because even though President Truman pushed for more civil rights there was not much funding due to a white government and a lack of support which therefore lead to these new Orders not being pushed through. Therefore resulting in De Jure as it could not be converted into De Facto change, which unfortunately happened with other Civil Rights organisations such as the NAACP, CORE and the
This made the Romans prone to injuries and “because they have no armor, think about running and not fighting” (Document B). Because of the loss of troops from the loss of armour, the Roman army’s numbers diminished. No soldiers were drafted since many groups were exempted from joining the army. This lessened the defences and security of Rome, and Rome became weaker. Another primary reason of Rome’s decline was a series of foreign invasions.
They have larger area and long range to fight. it was difficult for U.S because the Germans were hiding in the buildings and used tanks and stuff. The American soldiers had to live in the foxholes. The soldiers had not enough ammo and clothing. The soldiers felt depression because their friends dead in front of them.
For the northern men, the military training that they had gotten in the south was their first experience of formal racial segregations. President Roosevelt argued that America was fighting so that everyone in the world could enjoy four basic freedoms: “freedom of speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from Want and Freedom from Fear”. When Roosevelt said this, it was implied that it should be for everybody, of their race. The African American soldiers were fighting for freedom for other people in other countries, which is something they didn’t have in their own. This made it a conflict of interest for them; they couldn’t believe that they were fighting for their country, but yet they were still treated as lower class.
Even though during the civil war, many medical advancements were being made, they were not being made quick enough to save approximately 400,000 soldiers who died from disease and infection. The main reason why many soldiers didn’t know of disease and infections was because the doctors assigned to their camps didn’t know of them. Before the Civil war, doctors were not trained for the conditions they would later face during the war. Many doctors served as apprentices rather than going to medical school and getting a formal education.
