The Evolution of Postwar America: Cold War, Civil Rights, and Social Change

This exploration of postwar America delves into the key events and movements that shaped the nation during the Cold War era. From McCarthyism and the House Un-American Activities Committee to the Civil Rights Movement led by figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and organizations such as the NAACP, we examine the tensions of the time. The impacts of Truman's Fair Deal, the rise of the Conservative Coalition, and landmark Supreme Court cases like Brown v. Board of Education are addressed. Additionally, we discuss the burgeoning economy, the Baby Boom, and urban renewal in the context of a changing society.
