Answer 1

The workers in America found their lifestyles changing as the nation progressed industrially. Many of the workers became involved in provision of services rather than production of goods. Farmers on the other hand were in great trouble as the benefits of agriculture lead to consolidations and hence family farms were thrown out of business by the large farming businesses.

There was movement of the Americans from inner cities to suburbs where cheaper hosing was found in order to fit the big families that were as a result of a postwar baby boom. And as the suburbs grew bigger, more businesses were created such as large shopping centers that reduced traffic of shoppers in the cities. New highways were also constructed so as to make the suburbs accessible.There was also the widespread marketing of the television which had been developed previously but not marketed until after the war.

In conclusion, the Cold War was an important historical event. Specifically, it was very important to the Americans as it enabled them to progress economically, culturally and politically. We can therefore say that the United States became even more powerful after the Cold War and up to now it is regarded as the most powerful nation in the whole world.

Answer 2

I think Americans at the time felt extremely unsafe, it was already an unsafe time for people of color and minorities. Adding on the fear of a global nuclear war would make anybody horrified, regardless of socioeconomic status. For example, Japanese-Americans located in internment camps would fear for their family and livelihoods ontop of nuclear war. Another example would be caucasian citizens who could fear being accused of espionage or communist activity as well as nuclear war. The cold war was a time where the U.S govt was against everyone, including it's own inhabitants.
