You should have seen the mass turmoil and mass displacement the building of America’s interstate system caused.
I was there for it as a kid. Our extended family was scattered in Valparaiso, Indiana, Chicago, Idaho (north and south), Albuquerque, and Fort Worth. We drove that giant loop every couple of years when I was from 4 to 16 years old! I remember well the construction messes of the interstate system and read about all the “urban renewal” that was triggered when tenements were torn down to build the highways.
EISENHOWER SET UP THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM.
WHEN PEARL HARBOR HAPPENED & IT TOOK THE MILITARY 5 1/2 DAYS TO GO ACROSS THE USA, HE DECIDE TO CHANGE THAT.
