Question 6 • US History Studies Since 1877

Which of the following most contributed to the postwar baby boom?

Answer
A
the Sun Belt migration
B
the decrease in consumer spending
C
the Interstate Highway Act
D
the GI Bill

Explanation

The GI Bill helped returning World War II veterans attend college, buy homes, and start families. These benefits supported marriage and child-rearing after the war, contributing to the baby boom. Sun Belt migration and the Interstate Highway Act shaped where people lived and traveled, while consumer spending generally increased rather than decreased.
