Propaganda and War bonds Warm-up •How do you think average Americans helped with the fight during WWII? Vocabulary • Bonds-certificates sold by the government to raise money. You can retrieve the money after a set amount of time. • Propaganda-information that is spread, often by the government, for the purpose of promoting some cause • Rationing- giving a fixed portion of food or other essentials to each person to conserve goods. Notes: Rationing • War bonds and rationing were used as ways to support the troops overseas. • The government asked the American people to ration food and other important resources so that they would have enough to send to the troops. • Recycling of metals also became important during this time. Notes: War Bonds • The government raised taxes but it was not enough to support the war effort so they borrowed from the public by selling war bonds. • People bought war bonds as a patriotic gesture to give the government more money • They would get a little bit of interest when it was paid back.
