As I stated before there were many factors that helped basically raise money for the war. The bake sales that the women had were to help fund new weapons, along with people saving the fuel. Multiple factors like the war bonds, the schools, the days when people wouldn’t eat wheat or meat. It was all for a sufficent reason which was to protect the homefront and make sure all the soldiers were okay. We had already lost our ship; the Lucitania, due to an explosion that ended up killing hundreds of people. Everything they had on the ship was basically money because it cost to make weapons. After lossing money, it’s necessary for you to go out and make it back somehow and that’s exactly what the homefront was for. (Document 4) An African American miner during the war was looking to make money by moving out of his home state of New Orleans up to Chicago in 1917.
