After the United States' involvement in World War I, Americans were strengthened economically and diplomatically, but their home was drastically disturbed. Controversies arose across America about race, origins, work, and women gaining equal rights. The war may have ended around America, but at its center was a war among themselves socially, politically, and economically for women, immigrants, African Americans, and American men. World War I affected African Americans socially through the Great Migration of African Americans traveling north, politically for women fighting for rights and the ability to work, and immigrants were marginalized depending on their background, and economically for men who were drafted and their previous jobs became vacant. These problems were no longer something that could be overlooked and stuck out like a sore thumb, damaging America's reputation. While men were drafted for war, women filled the void by working in factories to help produce for the war effort. Journalist Jean Godden Seattle wrote on June 30, 1918, patriotically exclaiming that women had won the right to work in various shipyard shops and described women wanting to participate in the production of goods for their troops (Doc. 5). Women jumped at the idea of ​​working to earn money while their “breadwinner” fought in the war because it allowed them to taste what it meant to be considered a working citizen. However, they would not give up on the big step towards achieving equal rights for men. Women went further, and on May 19, 1919, Congress passed the Joint Resolution granting women the right to vote and extending the right of suffrage to women who achieved their dream of being American citizens (Doc. 6). They... middle of paper... were accused of what they did. American men were called to war after America broke its isolationism and they lost their previous jobs to show their patriotism. In America, even though World War I was fought abroad, and there were necessary battles to be fought at home for many Americans. African Americans fought to work in the North to improve lives, women fought for suffrage and to help by working for the war effort, German-Americans and other immigrants were repressed so that riots by radicals did not occur, and men they fought for their country. Overall, America experienced political, economic and social changes but also showed its patriotism and how it was able to deal with involvement in foreign affairs which later led them to not approve the League of Nations due of the pain and change that internationalism has caused. they caused them.
