In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 8 Topic 4 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 8 (1945-1980).

Mobilization for World War II had a seriously positive effect on the American economy, and after the war was over, that prosperity kept growing. Partly this was due to some massive federal spending projects, most notably the creation of Eisenhower's interstate highway system. Additionally, through the GI Bill, the federal government assisted war veterans with college tuition and low interest loans on houses.

During the 1950s, the U.S. population spiked in a phenomenon called the Baby Boom. And one of the major results of the this increase in population was the suburbanization of America, most notably in the model suburb of Levittown. And finally, a significant migration occurred during this time from northeastern states to the Sunbelt states of the South and West, a migration that brought with it an enormous amount of political and economic clout.
