The Communist Witch Hunts were going on (otherwise known as McCarthyism). The HUAC caused hundreds of people to be imprisoned and over 12,000 lose their jobs. Obviously, World War II was going on. Things as small as gasoline and meat were being rationed, and at the end of 1941, cars were out of production to save the steel and rubber (rubber had been cut off due to the war in Asia, Korean War!). Minorities and women were fighting for their rights. Drafts began in 194o, and 17 million young men were drafted and sent off to die.
