Popular Liberty Loans Fueled War Bond Boom
The United States entered World War I on April 6, 1917 and launched successive Liberty Loan campaigns. First, a $2 billion issue with 3 percent interest ran for ten years, later-over subscriptions and a 50 percent oversubscription marked its success. The Second Loan opened October 1 and closed October 27 bearing 4 percent interest, with conversion rights and large oversubscriptions. The Third Loan began April 6, 1918, and closed May 4, offering 4.5 percent interest for ten years with no conversion, initially planned at $3 billion but with rights to add more. Subscriptions totaled far beyond quotas, aided by labor, fraternal, and women’s groups, plus strong Army and Navy participation.
