Bond Drives

Bond drives were issued as an effect to war bonds, war bonds was issued by the government which basically gave security to the nations debt. With war bonds they made the public population believe they were contributing more to their country. Now there were problems with these war bonds, they offered the public to put more money into this cause because truthfully the government was going slowly broke. But in defense of the American public they had just got out of the great depression which was a horrible financial period in America. There were four major Liberty war bonds which in total contributed 150 Billion dollars to the United States Military. A lot of this money is the hard work of bond drives which encouraged the public to contribute money for their country. These bond drives brought the American people closer together and there was a larger since of patriotism during and after the war.
