Question

When we consider the Wartime materials we've read--the two poems and the brochure on foods during wartime--what general statement do you think we can make about the state of Americans in the early 1900s?

a) We can assume that many Americans were confused about what was going on in the war, and they were frustrated with all American industries.
b) We can assume that most Americans were very angry at the government for their handling of the war.
c) We can assume many Americans were working hard to make America a success, and after the war was over, they were hoping to get back to normal.
d) These materials show us that all Americans were starving during the war and mistreated by their employers.

Answer 1

Many Americans in the early 1900s worked hard to make America a success and longed for a return to normalcy after the war. Women and ethnic minorities faced challenges, and the government played a crucial role in controlling the economy and mobilizing the nation. Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the wartime materials we've read, we can make the general statement that many Americans in the early 1900s were working hard to make America a success, and after the war was over, they were hoping to get back to normal.

The materials highlight the sacrifices and efforts made by Americans on the home front, including women and ethnic minorities, who struggled to care for their families and went without due to rationing. The government also played an active role in controlling the economy and mobilizing the nation for war.
