Chapter 27: America at Midcentury

This chapter goes in great depth of the post war and how everything started coming into place for America. I particularly enjoyed this chapter because we finally start to see the build up and how they built America from the ground up. It happened to be one of the most major conflicts of the US. One of the major laws that helped pass for veterans to help out their families. The major laws that was created was the Brettan Law agreement which created the IMF, GATT, and the World Bank; secured US dominance in world finance. We hoped that there would be more of a different kind of substantial moments in US History, and we wanted to make the best of every situation for the US and we were growing as a country.
Booming prosperities happened during this time in the 1950's. What I truly loved is how the government sponsored scientific research and scientific technologies were discovered and business was booming like crazy. During this time, it happened to be one of the most successful, and technological things. The prosperity of American woman have grown and they were able to become more independent. Most were able to become teachers, or librarians, or nurses and college education was being more approved for women. The 1950's was definitely a turning point for America.
