Was the 1950s a Golden Age

Some people describe the 1950s as a time to be missed; as a Golden Age. They argue that times
were simpler, and that all of the new technology coming out and being able to afford was the
biggest problem at that time. It could be tested that it was the Golden Age of Capitalism, but
there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents
miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,
I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those
who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.
It created fear of the unknown. Furthermore, at this time the Klu Klux Klan was still a problem.
Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and
create growth and success in the present..

there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents
miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,
I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those
who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.
It created fear of the unknown. Furthermore, at this time the Klu Klux Klan was still a problem.
Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and
create growth and success in the present..

I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those
who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.

Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and

Some people describe the 1950s as a time to be missed; as a Golden Age. They argue that times
were simpler, and that all of the new technology coming out and being able to afford was the

there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents

who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.
It created fear of the unknown. Furthermore, at this time the Klu Klux Klan was still a problem.
Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and
create growth and success in the present..
Some people describe the 1950s as a time to be missed; as a Golden Age. They argue that times
were simpler, and that all of the new technology coming out and being able to afford was the
biggest problem at that time. It could be tested that it was the Golden Age of Capitalism, but
there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents
miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,

was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.
It created fear of the unknown. Furthermore, at this time the Klu Klux Klan was still a problem.
Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and
create growth and success in the present..
Some people describe the 1950s as a time to be missed; as a Golden Age. They argue that times
were simpler, and that all of the new technology coming out and being able to afford was the
biggest problem at that time. It could be tested that it was the Golden Age of Capitalism, but
there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents
miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,
I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those

surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.
It created fear of the unknown. Furthermore, at this time the Klu Klux Klan was still a problem.
Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and
create growth and success in the present..
Some people describe the 1950s as a time to be missed; as a Golden Age. They argue that times
were simpler, and that all of the new technology coming out and being able to afford was the
biggest problem at that time. It could be tested that it was the Golden Age of Capitalism, but
there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents
miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,
I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those
who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the

away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.
It created fear of the unknown. Furthermore, at this time the Klu Klux Klan was still a problem.
Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and

Some people describe the 1950s as a time to be missed; as a Golden Age. They argue that times
were simpler, and that all of the new technology coming out and being able to afford was the
biggest problem at that time. It could be tested that it was the Golden Age of Capitalism, but
there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents
miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,
I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those
who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done

during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.
It created fear of the unknown. Furthermore, at this time the Klu Klux Klan was still a problem.
Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and
create growth and success in the present..
Some people describe the 1950s as a time to be missed; as a Golden Age. They argue that times
were simpler, and that all of the new technology coming out and being able to afford was the
biggest problem at that time. It could be tested that it was the Golden Age of Capitalism, but
there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents
miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,
I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those
who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots

War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.
It created fear of the unknown. Furthermore, at this time the Klu Klux Klan was still a problem.
Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and
create growth and success in the present..
Some people describe the 1950s as a time to be missed; as a Golden Age. They argue that times
were simpler, and that all of the new technology coming out and being able to afford was the
biggest problem at that time. It could be tested that it was the Golden Age of Capitalism, but
there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents
miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,
I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those
who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from

Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and
create growth and success in the present..
Some people describe the 1950s as a time to be missed; as a Golden Age. They argue that times
were simpler, and that all of the new technology coming out and being able to afford was the
biggest problem at that time. It could be tested that it was the Golden Age of Capitalism, but
there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents
miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,
I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those
who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.

was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and
create growth and success in the present..
Some people describe the 1950s as a time to be missed; as a Golden Age. They argue that times
were simpler, and that all of the new technology coming out and being able to afford was the
biggest problem at that time. It could be tested that it was the Golden Age of Capitalism, but
there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents
miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,
I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those
who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.
It created fear of the unknown. Furthermore, at this time the Klu Klux Klan was still a problem.

a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and
create growth and success in the present..
Some people describe the 1950s as a time to be missed; as a Golden Age. They argue that times
were simpler, and that all of the new technology coming out and being able to afford was the
biggest problem at that time. It could be tested that it was the Golden Age of Capitalism, but
there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents
miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,
I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those
who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.
It created fear of the unknown. Furthermore, at this time the Klu Klux Klan was still a problem.
Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,

were simpler, and that all of the new technology coming out and being able to afford was the
biggest problem at that time. It could be tested that it was the Golden Age of Capitalism, but
there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents
miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,
I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those
who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.
It created fear of the unknown. Furthermore, at this time the Klu Klux Klan was still a problem.
Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and
create growth and success in the present..

miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,
I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those
who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.
It created fear of the unknown. Furthermore, at this time the Klu Klux Klan was still a problem.
Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and

I do not believe the 1950s was the Golden Age or an era to be missed. First, we have to think
about what comes very shortly after the 1950s, the Vietnam War. The country divided into those
who supported the war and those who did not, and many men went off to fight. This left women
and children alone and forced more women to work while raising the children. The economy
was not as it was in the 50s now because funds were going to support the War. With the
introduction of the Interstate and Defense Highways Act, development rose (AH Ch.26). The
50s also had a confining effect on women, they felt suffocated in modest suburban homes
surrounded by others living exactly the same and raising children. Since the economy was so
good, however, women didn’t need to work and if they wanted to, questions rose as to why
they were not home for their children. During this time, racism and segregation were not done
away with and decisions were still being made. Brown V. Board of Education ended
segregation in schools but did not soften the blow the colored children would face going into
white schools. Additionally, many white folk still saw themselves as superior, and the riots
during this year 2020 have been against racism. While unnecessarily extreme, they are in
support of equality, something that was just taking hold in the 50s. As we learned from
American Horizons chapter 25, this time was also the beginning of the Cold War. The Cold
War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, and affected nearly
everyone globally. It was based on political and economic forefronts; new weapons were
developed within the big countries and it was simply a stalemate to see who would give in first.
It created fear of the unknown. Furthermore, at this time the Klu Klux Klan was still a problem.
Not every American felt free and safe on the streets. They were a formidable force against the
Civil Rights Movement, and I could theorize that anyone claiming the Golden Age as the 1950s
was most likely white. In the book titled Putnam’s “Our Kids” we learn that the time of
unprecedented and since unattainable economic prosperity in the 1950s has warped views of
this time. The wealth masks the bad; we must be reminded this was only a period of ten years,
a single decade. Money must not be the only factor in Americans minds if we are to unite and
create growth and success in the present..
Some people describe the 1950s as a time to be missed; as a Golden Age. They argue that times
were simpler, and that all of the new technology coming out and being able to afford was the
biggest problem at that time. It could be tested that it was the Golden Age of Capitalism, but
there is a strong argument that 2019 or hopefully coming 2021 will rival that claim. Parents
miss how safe it was back then to let children play outside alone without much fear of strangers,
and crime rates were lower. Times were simpler; children played outside and stayed active,
wore modest clothes and expected a gentleman. However, while all of this information is true,
