More than 1.3 million men and twenty thousand women enlisted in the armed forces. Though some Americans opposed US entry into the war, many believed they had a civic duty to support the war effort. US government propaganda sought to mobilize (encourage) the American citizenry through appeals to patriotism and civic duty, and by linking US democracy with support for the democracies of Western Europe. The Selective Service Act of 1917 authorized the conscription (drafting, or forced recruitment) of military manpower for the war effort so that the United States did not have to rely solely on volunteers. Because many American citizens believed it was their patriotic duty to support the war effort, the draft was well-received and rates of draft-dodging were relatively low.World War I on the Home FrontIncreased Rights and Opportunities for Oppressed GroupsThe First World War had an enormous impact on US politics, culture, economy, and society. Advocates of woman’s suffrage successfully linked the patriotic efforts of women in the war with voting rights. This strategy was highly effective, and in 1920, the US Congress ratified (approved) the Nineteenth Amendment, which guaranteed women the right to vote. Indeed, women played a hugely significant role in war efforts. They took up factory jobs that were previously held by men now overseas, and were able to move into professions that were previously inaccessible to women before the war, including engineering, weapons production, and automotive jobs. These opportunities further increased women’s desires for equality. Yet after WWI, many women were forced out of these “men’s” jobs to make way for returning veterans.African Americans also saw increase opportunities due to WWI. The quickly-expanding economy led to new job opportunities in northern and Midwestern cities, and African Americans migrated in mass in what is known as The Great Migration to escape the Jim Crow South and take advantage of wartime employment opportunities. African Americans also served in WWI in segregated military units. The first all-African American regiment, known as the Harlem Hellfighters, earned decorated military honors and a parade in Harlem upon their return from war. Despite these accomplishments, African Americans still faced racial violence and prejudice across the country during and after the war, sometimes more so if they appeared in public in military uniform. Many African American thinkers, including W.E.B. DuBois, originally believed that African Americans should support the war effort because it would push the country to support racial justice. After he saw little change during the war era, he protested fighting for democracy abroad when it was so clearly denied at home.QUESTION 310 pointsIn what ways did WWI increase rights and opportunities for women and Black Americans?
