monopolization??? I'm not really sure. I live in the Tennessee Valley and our power is from TVA. I'm sure I learned this in school but I can't remember.

Research the TN Senate race this year between Ford Jr. and Bob Corker.  It was one of the most widely televised elections because of the rampant mudslinging, including allegations of racism.  Allen and Webb in Virginia would be another good one to check out.  I recommend these because they are so very recent (only a couple weeks ago) so there should be alot of info available

A Regiment of civilian volunteers, rescue squad, national guard, and others emergency response workers Have Been The First To Respond to Every Natural Emergency and/or armed conflict in Tennessee, Franklin (the conjoined Eastern regions of Tennessee, Kentucky, and western parts of North Caroline and Virgina PRIOR to the borders as they appear today, and American history, from the earliest of times even up to today.  The Greatest of which in history is the Regiment of Tennessee Volunteers (led by Davy Crockett&Sam Bowie) to render assistance to the Stranded and embattled Settelers (farmers, cattlemen, mercantile, etc) living in South Texas, in particular San Antonio area.  Standing shoulder to shoulder with them when surrounded by superior forcers ( mauradering attacks led by Mexican General Santa Ana) at the Famous Battle of "The Last Stand at the ALAMO" \nThe Men, Women, and Children, who were abandonded by Washington D.C. and the Army (Who Strangly enough were ram-rodding the greatest period of Imperalistic Expansion at the time) Were Not Abandonded By The People of Tennessee.  This is a source of Very Deep Pride in Tennessee even to this day.  Tennesseeans will come running -NO QUESTIONS ASKED, at any time, night or day -to help you. :)

With many of the young men off to war minorties and women picked up much of the slack. Business boomed because the US exported all of its goods to war torn countries. After the war the good economy lasted through the 20's but it all came crashing down with the great depression

It was rationing, an attempt to ensure there was enough of vital resources available for the nation's military efforts.  It is not true that rationing was re-instated during the 1970s.\n\nA person was issued a ration book.  Items that were rationed included foodstuffs like sugar, bacon, beef, flour, cornmeal, coffee and tea.  Whiskey, wine. tobacco and beer were rationed.  Gasoline for your car was rationed.  If one were a farmer, one could get a different ration book that allowed the purchase of more gasoline, but the extra gas had to be used ONLY in farm vehicles like tractors and combines - the gas was dyed so that an inspector could tell just by dipping a tube in the automobile gas tank whether the gas was supposed to be used by a farmer and not a non-farming citizen - and there were pretty tough penalties if you got caught!\n\nEven eggs were rationed.  So were leather and textiles that could be used to make uniforms and equipment for our Armed Forces.  And people were asked to contribute their steel, copper and aluminum items - cookware, copper teakettles, etc.  Even tires for your car were rationed, and with the then-extant technology, you were real careful how far you drove, 'cause tires did not last nearly as long as they do today.  You wore out a set of tires in much less time than now, and if you did that, you were sh*t outa luck: you didn't GET no new tires.  Indeed, you didn't get no new car, niether - they converted the automobile factories into making military vehicles like tanks, airplanes and the legendary jeep and the "deuce and a half" Army truck.  And though nylon had been invented pre-war, you couldn't buy nylon hosery - it was all being used to make parachutes for the Army!  \n\nTens of thousands of folks supplimented their daily diets by planting "victory gardens" in their yards and growing vegitables and fruits and learning to preserve and store the produce they raised for use during the winter months.  In short, there's a reason we call those folks - two of whom were my Mom and Dad - the "Greatest Generation".  The whole cotton-picking country had to work together to ensure a win in that monster of a war!  And by golly, they did win it!\nIt was a hard road to travel, but they did it and we need to remember their hard work and sacrifice and never, NEVER forget.  My poppa earned a Purple Heart in the Phillippines, but my Ma earned her stripes by scrimping, saving and buying war bonds - you can read about war bonds too - and keeping the home fires burning.  World War Two was the most profound threat to the existance of the United States since the American Civil War...and y'might wanna read 'bout that one, too.

There was a hugh fear of communism in the '50s and you could write about McCarthyism and the blaclisting of actors in Hollywood during this period.  The movie about Edward Murrow "Good Night and Good Luck" would explain more on this subject.\n\nAlso, in the fifties the nuclear family was the "norm" and people tried to be like "Ozzie and Harriet" - the perfect family.  That could be another essay.\n\nOr the economic advantages of the generation in the 50s, where homes and cars were affordable, and these families went up within the middle class.\n\nBest wishes.

patterns would have to do with how up to date the house was--just like now, people have hold-overs from previous generations. \n\na big console radio would probably be the centerpiece, if the family had a little money. otherwise, it would be the fireplace. probably, there would be some art deco stuff. also, crocheted doilies on the backs of wingback chairs from earlier eras. my grandma had lots of those oval braided rugs. \n\ni found this site: http://www.niagaraniagara.com/bampfield-breakfast.html\n\nby google-image search "1930s decor" --you'll get more ideas by going there. http://images.google.com/images?q=1930s+decor&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&start=0&sa=N

The 1950s in the United States of America were marked with a sharp rise in the economy for the first time in almost 30 years and return to the 1920s-type consumer society built on credit and boom-times, as well as the baby boom from returning GIs who went to college under the G.I. Bill and settled in suburban America. Most of the internal conflicts that had developed in earlier decades like women's rights, civil rights, imperialism, and war were relatively suppressed or neglected during this time as a world returning from the brink hoped to see a more consistent way of life as opposed to liberalism and radicalism of the 1930s and 1940s. The effect of suppressing social problems in the 50s would have a significant impact on the rest of the twentieth century.\n\nThe 1950s were also marked with a rapid rise in conflict with the United States and the Soviet Union that would heighten the Cold War to an unprecedented level which would include the Arms Race, Space Race, McCarthyism, and Korean War. Stalin's death in 1953 left an enormous impact in Eastern Europe that forced the Soviet Union to create more liberal policies internally and externally. The rise of Suburbia as well as the growing conflict with the East are the two generally accepted reasons for the conservative domination of this decade.
