The Model T Ford was produced from 1908 to 1927. It was the first affordable automobile, due to the use of assembly line production instead of individual hand-crafted work. Because it was so affordable, it caused a major shift in Americans' living patterns in the 1910s. It allowed more Americans to get from one place to another quickly.
Life was hard because many southern cities lay in ruins and there where
no jobs around leaving Africans Americans homeless and penniless. Hope this helps
