Answer:

1) The war was a catalyst for the great migration of African Americans, and those who returned from the war, finding inequality intact, demanded civil rights. In addition, the conflict heralded the rise of conscription, mass propaganda, the national security state, and the FBI.

2) Most coped well and against all the odds managed to live reasonably happy and contented lives. Yet many men found themselves alone in a crowd. No one had defined the nature of combat fatigue or post-traumatic stress disorder in the 1920s and there was little psychological help available.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it helps:)

Answer:

for the answer "2) What was the experience like for soldiers when they came home after the war?"

Step-by-step explanation:

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sometimes known as shell shock or combat stress, occurs after you experience severe trauma or a life-threatening event. It's normal for your mind and body to be in shock after such an event, but this normal response becomes PTSD when your nervous system gets “stuck.”
