The Home Front program begins with a brief background describing how the U.S. entered the war. Students ask questions and learn about the challenges of the Home Front: making all the materials we need to win, dealing with food shortages, and keeping America optimistic and "war-minded." Through photos, posters, editorial cartoons, songs, and speeches, students learn about the triumphs and mistakes that were made at home during the war.
