Society in the 1950s

My article was "The Interstate Highway System." This was mainly about how Eisenhower created the new freeway system for a military and civilian purpose. The new freeway system which was also known as the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways could be used to evacuate cities and to help get people out of the city faster in case of a missile attack. Eisenhower had 41,000 miles of four-lane roads built along with 16,000 entrance ramps and 55,000 bridges which wern't fully develooped until 1990's. The new freeway system caused Americans to be more satisfied about the roads because the could drive from any place to place much faster at high speeds without stoplights. The highway system today is still at use every single day and it is still very successful and an easy way to get around.
