Today we went over notes and did blog discussions as well. Films made during WW2 were all usually propaganda. They made it seem like the US was unbeatable so long as they were made in the US. They made the Japanese and Germans seem inferior to us. During WW2 people had to ration things that were needed during the war. Some people only got 4 gallons of gas/week people with c sticker got more gas b stickers got even more than that. T stickers were given to truckers who shipped stuff across the country they got unlimited amounts of gas. So black markets were set up and people bought illegal goods that they werent supposed to get. To get RATION GOODS YOU HAD TO HAVE RATION STAMPS. YOU ALSO GOT A RATION BOOK WHICH YOU HAD TO RETURN IF YOU WERE GOING TO HAD. WITH RATIONS YOU HAD TO WAIT IN LINE TO GET MANY OF THINGS YOU GOT BUT PEOPLE MANAGED TO COPE WITH THE DIFFICULTIES. NATIONAL WAR LABOR BOARD GOT PEOPLE TO WORK TOGETHER SO THEY WOULDN'T GO ON STRIKE. THE NATIONAL WAR LABOR BOARD WORKER TOGETHER WITH BUSINESS OWNERS AND PEOPLE WHO WORKED FOR THAT BUSINESS. THUS CONCLUDING WW2 PART POWERPOINT 1. THEN WE GOT TO WATCH CARTOONS THAT WERE RACIST.
