No: Most, if not all volunteered to go, there were some exceptions, but most were of the opinion that it was right to follow the flag & fight the foe: Public opinion was dominated by the media, there was little dissent because most people were uninformed of the situation, most had no idea of the likelihood of what warfare entailled.
The official figure is 116,708; however this does not include Americans who volunteered for service in other countries militaries prior to the US entry into the war. Many Americans are known to have volunteered for servce the armies of France, Britain or Belgium, and some other countries. A few Americans of German birth or heritage enlisted and served in the German army as well. There are no accurate figures for these voluntary enlistments; as they were often done quietly and in many cases under false names, since this sort of this was discouraged by the neutral US government.

During WWII, over 6 million women took wartime jobs in factories or filling in for men on farms, 3 million women volunteered with the Red Cross, and over 200,000 women served the military. so obviously women were in someway getting more opportunities to work. Granted they were not getting paid a fair wage, but they were able to put food on the table. And as a far as opportunities to work and in some areas the equality they were looking for gave a huge jump form before.

Nothing at all. In fact, Jesus specifically says (Matt. 24:36) that even He doesn't know exactly when the world will end, only the Father does; He says a little later that it will happen when no one is expecting it. Therefore, according to the Bible, the world cannot possibly end on December 21, 2012 because some people are expecting it to.
It took some time for relations to get that bad, but the natives only attacked colonists after colonists attacked them.
