Off the top of my head:

social: brought the American public to agreement about joining WWII
political: America joins the Allies; war fever
economic: boom in industry (steel, manufacturing, job explosion, etc.)

That took like two seconds, so there should be more that you can write about in the allotted 15 minutes.

I usually start with an introduction paragraph (thesis statement and “road map” of the essay), then go on to the separate issues (each with its own paragraph, making sure each piece of evidence is relevant, demonstrating a profound specific knowledge of the subject in the process), then concluding with misc. information still relevant to the DBQ that shows a profound general knowledge of the question, finishing it off with a sentence about the immediate effects of the event.
