Helping Acts

The "Cash and Carry" Neutrality Act of 1937 was for if belligerents wanted to trade with the US then they had to pay cash for non-military goods and carry the goods from the US back to Europe on their own ships. However, a new act came about in 1941 called the Lend-Lease Act. The Lend-Lease Act was so that the US could sell or loan war materials to foreign nations. FDR stated that the US would become the "arsenal of democracy."
