Artifact Overview
The U.S. government held bond drives during World War II to encourage Americans to support the war effort. Average citizens could invest in bonds where they worked, and many companies set goals for their employees to meet. Promotions for these campaigns--some depicting racist caricatures--often appealed to Americans' sense of patriotism to help raise money to defeat the enemy.
