Car sales rose from 6.7 million to 7.9 million in the span of 5 years. The number of private cars on the roads jumped from 40 million to over 60 million in 10 years. Suburban living made cars a necessity due to the suburbs not having public transportation causing people to have to drive themselves to work , doctor, dentist, school, and stores. Cars were made an easier purchase because of the abundance of petroleum which was the raw material gas was made from and since it was so easy to access the gas prices were inexpensive and tons of gas for customers. ]]> 2021-02-22 15:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1226854275 muhlyj22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1226883016 1957 Chevy Bel-Air]]> 2021-02-22 15:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1226883016 muhlyj22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1226910911 1950's Car factory]]> 2021-02-22 15:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1226910911 damicob22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1226936990 With more and more cars on the road this called for the need of more roads. "Automania" caused local and state government to build new roads so all the cars didn't have to travel one road. The new roads would link major cities to each other and also linked schools, shopping centers, workplaces to residential suburbs. The suburbs were booming in population so the new roads were much needed. In 1956 President Eisenhower signed the National Highway and Defense Highway Act of 1956. This act funded and build a nation wide highway system. The highways stretched for 41,000 miles. With the new roads that could take you anywhere encouraged people to move and live farther from the cities and developed new suburbs. Since there were brand new roads for people to travel on it made the commute to farther workplaces.  ]]> 2021-02-22 15:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1226936990 damicob22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236524814 With cars on the rise and the high demand for them people in the United States built different areas to use your cars. The creation of Drive-in movie theaters, restaurants, and shopping malls. Although there were a ton of great opportunity for the United States with cars there were a good amount of negatives that came with cars to. Noise and exhaust polluted the air. Automobile accidents claimed more lives every year. Traffic jams raised peoples stress levels. Heavy usage of the roads damaged them. Because cars made it possible to live in the suburbs white high and middle class family's moved to the suburbs and left the crowded cities and not to long after there jobs and businesses followed them to the suburbs. Public Transportation declined because there was not as many people and poor people in the cities were left without jobs and vital services. The gap between urban and suburban dwellers and between the middle and poor class widened.     ]]> 2021-02-24 14:39:15 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236524814 muhlyj22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236532501 1950's Oil rig]]> 2021-02-24 14:40:31 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236532501 muhlyj22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236545963 Drive-In Movie Theater]]> 2021-02-24 14:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236545963 muhlyj22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236556676 Abundance of Petroleum]]> 2021-02-24 14:44:31 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236556676 muhlyj22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236612388 Automania]]> 2021-02-24 14:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236612388 muhlyj22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236617208 Private Car Usage Went up 150% from 1950-1960]]> 2021-02-24 14:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236617208 muhlyj22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236626938 National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956]]> 2021-02-24 14:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236626938 damicob22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236627137 President Eisenhower ]]> 2021-02-24 14:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236627137 muhlyj22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236631805 Air and Noise Pollution ]]> 2021-02-24 14:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236631805 damicob22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236636629 The Insolent Chariots ]]> 2021-02-24 14:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236636629 muhlyj22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236643723 Middle Class Gap Increased from Lower Class]]> 2021-02-24 14:59:36 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236643723 damicob22 https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236648278 Public Transportation declined ]]> 2021-02-24 15:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/damicob22/bf977cvkk3kkxsz2/wish/1236648278
