The generations of the 1870s-1890s, 1920s-1940s and 1950s-1960s each challenged the established rules of the generations before them. The 1870s saw the end of the Civil War and the establishment of African American education and landownership. Unfortunately because of the increasing black presence, the 1890s brought about a wave of legislated racism. The 1920s and 1930s generation prospered in its initial recovery from World War I before the Great Depression. In its day, the 1920s saw the development of new fashions, lifestyles and careers for both men and women. After World War II however, the start of the cold war and fear of nuclear war, a new generation in the 1950s and 1960s turned their back on the conservatism which was promoted on the television and the Civil Rights and Women’s Movement were born.
