On the website I found out things that were happening in America during the 1950s. First, of all there were many different social changes. One big thing that was happening was that people were moving with their family to the suburbs. People wanted more there children instead of fight in war the wanted education and careers for them. Since there were so many teenagers in, 1956 there were 13 million in America, because of the baby boom. The people who change the 1950s the most were the teenagers. They invested there money the got from their parents in car, bike and music. Credit card was invented and there was a big growth in corporate. There were franchises and also the car industry. The 1950s changed how we look at thing now, and i learned this information from http://intranet.dalton.org/ms/8th/students/decades99/Muffins1950/Pages/index.html,by Ashley .N. Elizabeth .G, and Lauren B.
