America in the 1950s and 60s, was changing rapidly. First came the Baby Boom. Millions of babies were in hospitals and America’s population was rapidly growing. This promoted the start of suburbs, (Levittown). This was a miracle for the growing population, and the start of the nuclear family. Since more people were coming into America, so people were more dependent on cars. This promoted the Interstate Highway. Along with all the changes in America, we were also at opposite ends with the Communists. We were terrified of being taken over by Communism, and we were going to do everything we could to stop it coming to us.
