Unit 12: WWI and Roaring 20's

Learning Intentions for the Unit:

This unit takes South Carolina through two world wars and the Great Depression. South Carolina’s contributions to the war effort included military service, the use of military bases, and participation in homefront support (i.e. liberty gardens and rationing)

The World Wars impacted marginalized groups such as African American and women socially, economically, and culturally. To help alleviate the effects of the Great Depression, the New Deal was implemented to stabilize the economy and provide temporary support to people experiencing the hardships of the economic depression. Soldiers after WWII benefitted from the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, resulting in increased income and education levels throughout South Carolina. Students will use historical thinking skills to develop and understanding of how these global events impacted our state.
