How did the total war effort in the United States affect the nation’s economy?

Increased spending on the military --> increased debt

Increased manufacturing and trade [1939 - 44] --> economy growth of 8%

Increased manufacturing and trade [1941 - 1943] --> economy growth of 17%

Slack of production during the Great Depression --> increased production afterwards as the US economy recovered

Needing more money for the war effort --> the government expanded income tax and added mandatory withholdings from paychecks

Hope this helps!

they believed democracy was worth the fight

b) the confederacy had to pay all union war expenses.
