In 1941, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the United
States found itself in a total war, the people of Texas rallied to
the war effort. Men and women rushed to join the armed forces.
Those who remained behind--men, women, and children--were soldiers
on the home front: They rolled bandages, spotted aircraft, trained
for air raids, filled jobs left vacant by service men, collected
scrap scrimped and saved and got by with rationed sugar, meat,
shoes, tires, and gas. Texas became a center for training and
equipping the greatest war machine the world had ever seen. World
War II changed Texas from oil and cattle and cotton to industry and
agribusiness.The technology that grew out of the war--radar,
television, jet aircraft, air conditioning for the masses--made a
Texas that had not been imagined before 1941. And the Texans
themselves changed, as they left the state for foreign places and
for other parts of the United States. They left the country for the
city to work in industry and most would never return to the farm
except in retirement years.
