Question

read the following information and answer the question below.
in february 1942, a letter to the editor of the pittsburgh courier started the \double v\ campaign.
why were many americans wanting success of the double v campaign?
a. ◯ because the arsenal of democracy was productive
b. ◯ because african americans were key to the war effort
c. ◯ because the atomic bombs were close to completion
d. ◯ because germany was close to defeat

Explanation:

The Double V Campaign aimed for victory against fascism abroad (in WWII) and victory against racial discrimination at home. African Americans' contributions to the war effort (like in factories, military) highlighted the need for equal rights, so many Americans supported the campaign because African Americans were key to the war effort. Option A is incorrect (arsenal of democracy refers to US production for Allies, not directly tied to Double V). Option C: atomic bombs were developed later (1945), not 1942. Option D: Germany's defeat timeline doesn't directly relate to the campaign's domestic focus.

Answer:

B. because African Americans were key to the war effort
