## Short Answer:
8. Before World War II, Georgia was primarily an agricultural state with a strong reliance on farming and rural economies. The state was also beginning to industrialize, but many of its cities were still small and not as densely populated as in other parts of the United States.
## Paragraph Response:
9. The economic impact of the Bell Bomber plant, military facilities, and shipyards in Georgia was substantial during and after World War II. The Bell Bomber Plant in Marietta created thousands of jobs and contributed significantly to the state's industrial capabilities, allowing for the production of vital aircraft. Meanwhile, the shipyards, such as Savannah and JA Jones, generated employment and boosted the local economies through the construction of Liberty ships, which were crucial for transporting troops and supplies. The influx of workers led to population growth and increased demand for goods and services, ultimately transforming Georgia’s economy from largely agrarian to one that embraced manufacturing and industry, laying the groundwork for future economic development in the post-war era.
