Postwar America, particularly in the late 1940s and 1950s, was characterized by economic prosperity, a booming middle class, and a significant expansion of suburban living. The GI Bill facilitated home ownership and education for returning veterans, while consumer culture flourished with an increase in production and the rise of television. Socially, this era was marked by both conformity and emerging civil rights movements, as many Americans sought stability amid the Cold War tensions. The cultural landscape was defined by a blend of traditional values and the beginnings of countercultural movements.
