baby boomers
When the Second World War ended thousands of soldiers returned to the United States in search of a quieter life outside of conflicts and one of the ways to get it was through marriage. during 1946 a lot of babies were born 3.4 millions and for 1946 to 1964 the amount of babies that were born was 76.4 millions. the term baby boomer is used to refer to this period of time. the increase in the market by the credit contributed even more for the increase of babies because Americans can buy a lot of things through the credit. A lot of places were built to those families which wanted get a house or apartment for a cheap price.
During this period of rapid population growth the economy was affected by an increase in the supply of credits in which rates were very high and many people could not afford them.This entailed several problems such as that several people were displaced from their homes and others were dismissed from their jobs. Even some people committed suicide.But this did not affect the entire population some people could live a very happy life with their families after fighting in the Second World War. They ignite form they lived their dream come true.

American dream and immigration during 1880-1920
The immigration to america its not new during 1880-1920 more than 15 million of immigrants arrived to the unite states. most of the immigrants came from places all around Europe and Asia. the immigrants from some places of Asia like Japan and China arrived in the Angel island at California. the immigrants from Europe arrived in the Ellis island. most of the immigrants came to the U.S trying to have a better condition of life. others were trying to escape from social and political conflicts in their home countries such as violence. the majority of immigrants that came from non-English speaking countries have some problems to trying to adapted in the new environment.when the amount of immigrants from the sames countries increase they created their own places to socialite with their own people. one example of this is the China town and the little Russia in network. But no all the immigrant were welcome in america. Some people " natives" were against immigration.

The dream and reality of the Americans.
After the civil war the united states had passed throughout a lot of changes. the freedom of slaves was one of the achievements during this period. I think this has a realization with the american dream because they wished to be free, to have the same rights as most of the people and the idea of american dream is not just an economic prospective it is also the desire to be part of society to be treated with equality. Additionally the increase of population in the west is related to the american dream because most of this people moved over the west to have a better opportunities. This reflects a similarity with the fact in the present that some people come to the united states to have a better life style. However this belief of totally independence fluctuate with the reality. Most of the people who lived in the west had to pay a big amount of money to get the necessary implements to work in their plantations. In conclusion the changes in the united states contributed to the growth of a nation.
