During the postwar years, America provided opportunities for their war veterans’ to attain college education, purchase farms, and buy houses through their Public policies such as the passing of the GI Bill of Rights in 1944. Although America experienced prosperity and economic growth in the post-era period, not all Americans took part in the opportunity presented during this post-war period.
