Name ____________________ Number ______ Social Studies 3-5.4: Summarize the social and economic impact of World War II and the Cold War on South Carolina, including the end of the Great Depression, improvements in modern conveniences, increased opportunities for women and African Americans, and the significance of the opening and eventual closing of military bases. Part 1 During World War II, South Carolina experienced significant economic growth. The war effort brought the Great Depression to an end and instituted recovery that had not occurred since the end of the Civil War. Many South Carolinians experienced greater opportunities in the workforce. Many of the state’s citizens, white and African American, men and women, joined the armed forces. As a result, farms were often left shorthanded causing land owners to turn to crops that could be harvested by machine, such as soybeans. Part 2 Following the war, many returning veterans did not return to work on the farms. Others left the farms for work now available in the growing mills and related industries. Women left the home to work in factories serving in roles vacated by men who left to serve in the military. Military bases were opened and/or expanded at Fort Jackson, Parris Island, Greenville, Spartanburg, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Beaufort, Eastover, and Sumter. These bases provided a boost to the local economy. Although President Roosevelt’s executive order offered some wartime industries to African Americas, segregation and discrimination limited those opportunities in South Carolina. Many African Americans left the state to pursue work options in cities in the northern and western United States. Part 3 Once the war ended, economic prosperity continued in South Carolina. Demand for goods, unavailable in wartime, led to increases in consumer spending. Returning veterans used the GI Bill benefits to pursue an education. New businesses were started. Due to the expansion and modernization of port facilities, Charleston became one of the leading seaports in the United States by the 1950s. Part 4 The Cold War had a large impact on the economy of South Carolina. Military spending produced new industries and jobs. The Savannah River nuclear plant was built to provide plutonium for the nation’s nuclear weapons arsenal. There are four other nuclear power or weapons facilities sites in South Carolina. Despite the end of the Cold War, the state’s long affiliation with the military continues to provide jobs and an economic boost to the economy of South Carolina. As a result of Cold War spending and the war on terrorism, military bases in South Carolina have continued to play a major role in the state’s economy. Although the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base and the Naval Base at Charleston were closed following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent end of the Cold War, recent developments in the Middle East have continued to require a dependence on the state’s military installations.
