World War II - The Homefront

We started with Crash Course US History 36 WWII Homefront (embedded below) - yes, he still speaks insanely fast, so you may want to watch it a 2nd time (I slowed it down to 86% in class).  You started by defining the following terms:

• Ration
• Quota
• Amalgam
• Root (cause)
• Income tax
• Anti-Semitism
• New Deal

We then watche dthe vid, after which you hopefully were able to explain the following:

• Zoot Zuit Riots
• GI Bill
• Executive Order 9066
• FDR's Four Freedoms

We ended class by giving you more time to complete your presentations, which must be given on Monday.
