Abstract:

During World War I, North Carolinians were affected in many ways. Men, women, and children stepped up to help out the cause in a variety of ways. Many joined the war effort as soldiers, bases were created in Fayetteville, Raleigh, Charlotte, and Hillsborough, people bought war bonds, children were encouraged to help garden, women joined organizations like the Red Cross, and North Carolina’s wartime industry brought jobs and money to the state.
