I like Ike!!! D. Eisenhower becomes president in hopes to balance federal budget- but cost of Cold War, New Deal programs etc. makes this difficult.

E. While there was conservatism in politics there was a subculture that existed in American society

1. The Beatniks – a group of writers and poets who rejected conformity and mainstream ideas…

2. Teen movies of the 50s also embodied the counter culture

3. Rock n’ Roll – becomes popular with the youth of the 50s. Rock n’ Roll is seen as a non conformist style of music.
