1. “The decade of the 1930s left deep scars, joblessness, and insecurity, had pushed up the suicide rate, and dampened the marriage rate. --EO2. “The “white flight” to the leafy-green suburbs left the inner-cities-especially those in the NE and MW-black, brown, and broke.” --SB3. “These dramatic shifts of population and wealth further broke down the historic grip of the North on the nation’s political life.”4. “Especially striking was the growth of the Sunbelt, a 15 state area in the Smiling Crescent from VA through FL and TX to AZ and CA.”

1. I’m picturing all the suffering and pain and hardship that people had to go through during that time.2. The most important part is that this explains the decline of cities like Cleveland, where people left to settle in the inner-ring and relocate in the outer-suburb ring leading to urban decay.3. I’m inferring to the fact that this is still going on today because Ohio is still losing political battleground today (ex: electoral votes).4. I’m no longer confused about this topic because I now know how many states made up the Sunbelt and where they were!”

5. “Workers in the rapidly growing service sector of the economy proved much more difficult to organize than the thousands in the 1930s who poured into auto and steel unions.”

6. “The Second World War itself provided a powerful stimulus, the U.S. used war to fire up smokeless factories.”

7. “National income nearly doubled in the 1950s and almost doubled again in the 1960s shooting through the trillion dollar mark in 1973.”

5. I’m wondering why organizing thousands of workers in the 1930s working through the Great Depression would be harder to organize than shop owners in a booming economy.

6. The most important part is that all of the weapons, clothing, and other products produced for the war effort gave many people a job in the U.S., thus getting us out of the Depression.

7. My thinking changed because I thought the U.S. was always in some kind of debt and now I realize that at one point we were making 40% of the world’s wealth.

8. “After 1945 the steady flow (of migration to the suburbs) became a stampede.”

9. “Then, beginning about 1950, the American economy surged onto a dazzling plateau of sustained growth that was to last virtually uninterrupted for 2 decades.”

10. “The clash between the demands of suburban housewifery and realities of employment eventually sparked a feminist revolt in the 1960s.”

8. This reminds me of the movie Edward Scissorhands because the movie makes fun of suburban life.9. The most important part is

that the economy rebounded successfully after the war and made up for the Great Depression.

10. I’m no longer confused about this topic because this clearly illustrates the tear between wives working at home and working in the office/factory.
