During the early 20th century America was increasingly growing and effecting families like our in very god ways. With the start of the great war our family never had more work in our lives. We stood on the sideline making weapons and tanks and bombs for fighting countries. Myself, John Miller, I had to go do jobs like this and bring back checks from 80 dollars to 100dollars to 150 dollar checks. It was simply amazing. We had more money that to know what to do with. More money to spend. But Germany was starting to enrage us Americans to where I had to go over seas and fight in trenches and I will say this war was unlike any other war my ancestors had fought in. When we came back our economy stopped raising extremely and started at a constant rate until the prohibition came and our economy became booming once more.
