World War II on the Home Front

Question 4 • MCPSS AL-Grade 6 United States Studies: The Industrial Revolution to the Present - Summer School 2026

What was an effect of the US government selling war bonds?

Answer
A
Citizens received government loans to support them during the war.
B
Citizens saw immediate returns on their investments.
C
The public protested the mandatory war bonds.
D
The government raised hundreds of billions of dollars.

Explanation

When the government sold war bonds, citizens lent money to the government, which promised to repay them later with interest. The money helped pay for the war, so the government raised funds—not hundreds of billions of dollars immediately in every case, but this is the effect described by choice D. Bond buyers did not receive immediate returns, and the bonds were not mandatory loans given to citizens.
