Henry Brooks Adams (February 16, 1838 – March 27, 1918) was an American historian and member of the Adams political family, being descended from two U.S. Presidents.
As a young Harvard graduate, he was secretary to his father, Charles Francis Adams, Abraham Lincoln's ambassador in London. The posting had much influence on the younger man, both through experience of wartime diplomacy and absorption in English culture, especially the works of John Stuart Mill. After the American Civil War, he became a noted political journalist who entertained America's foremost intellectuals at his homes in Washington and Boston.
In his lifetime, he was best known for his History of the United States During the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, a nine-volume work, praised for its literary style.
His posthumously published memoirs, The Education of Henry Adams, won the Pulitzer Prize and went on to be named by the Modern Library as the best English-language nonfiction book of the 20th century.[1]
The World War II involvement of the United States meant that lot of men had to go to war. This left a very big gap in the labor force market. Because of the lack of labor force, the people that were not sent to fight, including lot of African Americans, found themselves in a nice position when it came to job opportunities. The empty spaces in the labor market had to be filled in order for the economy to run, so pretty much everyone managed to get a job with ease. This opened a lot of doors for the African Americans against which there was lot of discrimination until then, so they used the opportunity, managed to get nicer jobs and to prosper in life because of it.
