END OF WW II CARS AND ROADS FORMATION of SUBDIVISIONS GI BILL RAISE A FAMILY SOURCES Click for Questions

 After WW2 the depression was something of the past. War-time industry allowed Americans, with money, to travel out of crowded cities and find other land to build homes.  In order to meet the demands of a growing economic boom, the state made up the GI Bill of Rights.  Funding for new highways in America were put on hold during World War II. After the war, Congress started funding for highways from cities to suburbs

 GI Bill : a bill that provided college or vocational education for returning World War II veterans as well as one year of unemployment compensation. It also provided many different types of loans for returning veterans to buy homes and start businesses.  Most importantly, the GI Bill was created because of a needed educated class of people to think of new atomic weapons and scientific advances to be ahead of the Soviets during the Cold War.  With loans that the veterans got from the bill, many moved out of cities to the booming creation of the suburbs.

 William Levitt had an idea to build communities that represented little towns.  It was ideal because people owned their own home, cooked with their own appliances, and mowed their own lawn.  Wasn’t expensive either, it took $100 to put a down payment on a Levittown home.  Middle class could afford the houses but lower class people such as: African Americans had to stay in the cities where it was cheaper.

 With the creation of suburbs, couples had a good surrounding to start a family.  Houses had backyards for kids to play in and parents didn’t have to worry as much about their kids running off in a big city.  Communities began to grow in suburbs and everyone knew everyone. Locking your doors became a habit only for people living in cities.  Families who owned businesses in the cities moved their family and business to suburbs. This was convenient because people didn’t have to travel to the city whenever they needed something.
