Question 6 of 10 • IC Sem B US History

How did “car culture” in the United States affect the new migration of the 1950s?

Answer
A
The new highway system, which resulted from the car culture, made it easier for people to migrate from the North and East to the South and West.
B
Only wealthy people could afford cars, so the people involved in the new migration tended to be wealthy with a lot of disposable income.
C
As car ownership increased, more people stayed put and only traveled to distant places during vacations, which brought the new migration to an end.
D
Cars helped urban centers and their downtown areas prosper, which made people want to migrate to Eastern cities during the 1950s.
