A way of life that centered around the automobile.
Explanation:
The "car culture" of the 1950's changed American society forever. The increased development and affordability of cars for the average American citizens allowed them to live outside of urban centers, away from their places of work. Cars helped in the creation of suburbs, as millions of Americans could now afford to drive to their places of work and home. Along with this, the car represented individual freedom and lead to the creation of fast food restaurants.
President Lincoln's First Inaugural Address focused on reassuring the Southern states that the president would not try to strip them of their slaves and that he would try to find a way to help them secure slavery if it would make them happy.
