Answer:

The concept of "lost generation" was introduced into circulation by the American writer Gertrude Stein. Shortly after Ernest Hemingway, a close friend of Stein, included the expression in the epigraph of Fiesta novel, it took on a broader meaning, referring to young people who matured on the fronts of the World War and became disillusioned with the post-war world. This also affected writers who realized that former literary norms were inappropriate, and the old writing styles became obsolete. Many of them emigrated to Europe and worked there until the era of the Great Depression. One of the most famous writers of the lost generation and another icon of the sixties was Ernest Hemingway. Another well-known representative of the lost generation was Francis Scott Fitzgerald. In poetry, the ideology of the lost generation was anticipated by Thomas Sterns Eliot, whose themes in his early poems were loneliness, homelessness, and the inferiority of man.

That decade, dubbed the "fat" or "silent" fifties, was a time of prosperity, the rapid growth of the middle class (the so-called white-collar workers), and consumerism. Consumerism was most vividly addressed in the novels of Erich Maria Remarque and Don Delillo - the culture of consumerism became the object of their irony.

The Lost Generation is the name given to people who came of age during World War I. The term "lost" is used because it is argued that these people felt confused, directionless and disoriented in the world after the war. They believed that the rules of the world had changed forever, and they did not know what to expect in the coming years. After the war, this generation was responsible for the rise of consumerism and hedonism in America.

An example of this is F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald wrote about this sense of confusion, and about how it led to the excessive luxury and decadence of the Roaring Twenties. An example of this idea is the book <em>The Great Gatbsy</em>, where most of the characters lack purpose or direction, but keep themselves distracted through mindless partying and consumption.

AP US History question:
Kaylis [27]
The short answer is: "to a great extent". The entire plan of the Federalists was to create a strong central government instead of having many autonomous states. Of course this occasionally went against national unity in the sense that some people were opposed to this plan, but in general they favored unity.

The network of escape routes for enslaved african americans fleeing the south:
KATRIN_1 [288]
The Underground Railroad was the name of the escape routes used by slaves to escape the South and flee to the North. It was a network of special routes and safe houses that were used by both slaves and abolitionists who were sympathetic to their cause of escaping slavery. It started in the late 1700's and ended after the abolition of slavery. Canada was a popular destination, as slavery was prohibited their and had a longer border for easier access.
