Abstract:
During World War II, the state was home to more servicemen than any other state because due in part to the large bases within North Carolina. Taxes helped with expenses but citizens were encouraged to buy War Bonds to finance the effort. Bond sellers encouraged residents to purchase these bonds with enticements of seeing a captured Japanese Submarine in Wake County or by having a war plane named for their county (Rutherford).
