Accentuate the Positive: Minnesota’s Effort in<br />
Supporting The Second World War<br />
The song “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive” hit the charts in 1944<br />
and symbolized America’s industrial might in wartime. This two-part<br />
series examines the supporting role played by Minnesota with a<br />
particular emphasis on aviation. America’s military might grew from<br />
military, industrial, and commercial industries that sought successful<br />
techniques to accentuate aspects of mass production that helped<br />
achieve victory.<br />
