How did the war provide new opportunities for women African-Americans and Mexican-Americans?

The war created new opportunities for women, African Americans, and Mexican Americans by opening up job markets and breaking down some existing barriers.

For African Americans and Mexican Americans, the demand for labor during the war led to increased employment opportunities in industries and the military, fostering a greater sense of agency and paving the way for post-war civil rights movements. These experiences contributed to a gradual transformation in the roles and rights of these groups in American society.


How did the us government's actions during the great depression saddle latinos with unique hardships that other minority groups did not face?

During the Great Depression, U.S. government actions, such as the implementation of the Social Security Act and other relief programs, often excluded agricultural and domestic workers, sectors where many Latinos were employed. Additionally, discriminatory practices in labor markets and government relief efforts led to widespread deportation and repatriation of Mexican Americans, exacerbating their economic struggles. This unique combination of exclusion from support systems and targeted deportation created hardships for Latinos that were distinct from those faced by other minority groups during the Depression.
