== Chapter 29 is about what went on during the years of 1945-1980.During these years many things went on such as Postwar Policies and Prosperity, TheCivil Rights Movements, Protest,Reform,and Doubt and The Crusade for Equal Rights. From myunderstanding, when the war ended in 1945, two thirds of american men through the ages of18 and 34 were in uniform.Did you know that even before the war ended,Congress passed theThe GI bill of rights to help returnings Veterans? and also under this law, the government spent billionsof dollars to help Veterans set up farms and Businesses.also many GIs recieve lons to pay for collegeand or a new home.it alos provideda full year of unemployment benefits for Veterans who could not findwork.In the year of 1952, ppesident Truman chose not to run fo reelection, which caused Democrats tonominate Adlai Stevensonof Illinois, while the Republicans choose General Dwight D. Eisenhoward, aHero of world war II.Soon Eisenhoward was known as "Ike" who promis to end the conflict in Korea and lead Americans through the Cold War. Chapter 29 was also about a new round of reform ,durning this time Truman posed a new round of reform called Fair Deal. Truman wanted to extend the liberal policies of his predecessor, Franklin D. Rooosevelt. Chapter 29 was very intresting iut taught each of us in a different way. lets talk about life in ythe 1950s, the economic boom raised Americans based on the amount of goods,services, and leisure time people have. Americans brought washing machines, vacuum cleaners, televisions, automobiles, amnd many other comuster goods. do to the fact that so many of their purchasaes revoled arounf home and famnily ,few Americans worried thet they were saving little.Instead more Americans enjoyed a life that they can enjoy bexcause they had more money to spend. ==
