=   This poster was used to recruit Americans for World War One. In World War One, industry production in America exploded to keep up supporting the War with supplies. More employment was available for African American women because all men were active in duty. Jobs that were only available to white men were now run by African-American women. The industry slowed once the war was over because soldiers returned home and manufactures didn’t need to keep up with the demand for supplies. Fewer jobs were available for the coming home soldiers which arose to a large amount of unemployment. This was the first stepping stone for the coming Great Depression. World War I was mainly opposed by left-wing groups, but there was also opposition by Christian Pacifist groups. These people were against the war until the Americans joined because anyone who was against the war was put into jail. To transfer news across the Atlantic, news papers were the media. Thousands of papers everyday fled America everyday singling in one every detail possible. =
